I've sit mobile on top of Mt Soledad with the two TV station towers and a
few AM/FM radio transmitters and have talked to other Hams in the LA area
on 2 meters and 440 cm...it all depends on the radio you're using. I was
using a Drake UV3, which has a very narrow FM receiver in it. Other radios
might not be as good. I had a Motorola Commercial Radio Tech with me at
the time and he was very impressed with that radio.
