Thanks Gilles. I Use the Weather Freq. 162.525 Here in Prescott, Arizona.

There's a coordinated repeater on every 2m repeater pair here, but 2m is always dead. You might hear something during rush hour drive time in the morning or evening, but that's it. Nobody is on the repeaters. Thanks for the tip about NWR. I have 3 empty channels here out of 7 to listen on.

I still own a cheap police scanner and one day in I think July I heard a coast guard station from about 75 miles away from my location at the time. I was living in southern Maine at the time. Than one day in September I picked up a station in New Hampshire approx. 120 miles from my location. All of this on a cheap handheld Radio shack police scanner/receiver.

Thanks you answered the one question I came here for. I was wondering if there's any noteworthy enhanced propagation while using UHF. Now I wonder how much? I have my dual band antenna on the roof but I haven't used the UHF much because so many operators use 2 meter. UHF in my area is very quiet in the ham band.

Nice video, is there an online resource that lists weather stations by geographical area and frequency?

Gilles, here is a VHF propogation map:
It uses APRS packets to report on VHF propogation. Very handy especially if you wanna check for tropospheric ducting.
