In a little while (it's about an hour before sunrise) I'll be heading for the beach (less than 5 minutes away on foot) with my stock Sony 2010 as a spotting receiver and my Sangean DT400W looking for TP. It will be my first attempt.
At home with the 2010 barefoot I have fairly weak carriers on 972 and 774, and a huge carrier on 549 (7-8 on the 2010's signal strength display.) There's a little audio on 549 but not enough for an ID. I didn't expect to be able to hear any carriers at home.
