Hello,
Is VHF based soley on line of sight? I bought a scanner a while back, and didn't pick up a thing from my house. I'm about 10-15nm north of the airport, but behind trees, and tall buildings in between. I'm about 40nm from the ACC, with no buildings inbetween but trees. My question is, would a good scanner be able to pick up ATC chatter. My radio works fine here (obviously) so I figured a scanner would too. Was the scanner crap or am I out of luck? THanks
