I live a few miles southeast of Baltimore, MD and I believe I should be hearing something on 136 Mhz. All I get is static.
Kelvin,
1) what aerial are you using? Is it indoors or outside? Is it in the clear, or surrounded by other buildings, trees &c.?
2) The airband frequencies for BWI (http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=1113) don't seem to include anything on 136MHz
3) can you hear WBJC on 91.5MHz?
4) have you adjusted the frequency offset against a known good transmission?
5) the old advice of the best aerial you can manage, as high as possible still applies. For general coverage a discone makes a good broadband aerial, and can be homebrewed if you've time, patience, imagination and some spare wire! (For instance, see: http://www.northcountryradio.com/Articles/discone.htm and this article is quite practical in terms of both indoor or outdoor construction: http://www.repeater-builder.com/antenna/pdf/discone.pdf. Or you may be able simply to buy something suitable!
Good luck,
Robin, G8DQX
