The last time I did a road trip back to DC from Ohio, I was amused to
find that I could hit one of DC/Balt Cell One's cells from I-70 as it
crossed a ridge near Hancock, MD.  Thinking quickly, I pulled over
onto the shoulder and called in to my answering machine.

I couldn't hit a DC cell again for almost another 45 minutes worth of
driving time ... you can also see DC cells from Skyline Drive in
Shenandoah National Park, as long as you are on the east side of the
ridge :)
