<p>One thing that helps a lot is an external antenna, mag mount or on the window or even through the glass. But if there are no signals, it is time for as good book on cd/ipod<br>

I was really surprised to find out that there's virtually no APRS activity in NB along I-80. I saw no stations being heard on the radio stn list (VX8) and for awhile I thought my radio was broken! It wasn't until I got back into CO in the range of the mountains that I started seeing call signs in the calls-heard list again. I thought I would have heard at least a few trackers on RVs, trucks or hams in general along I-80 but nothing? Grand Island was the only object heard/seen. Sure glad to be back in CO where there's plenty APRS activity! Or so it appears?<br>
