Re: [BVARC] Off Topic: Fun with low band
Scanner Jack was a volunteer member with Ft. Bend County EOC and was recognized a number of times for his contributions to the Radio Shack scanner books of frequencies. Once he complained of low signal strength from the Ft. Bend EOC repeater. We investigated and learned his QTH was situated perfectly in the shadow of the tower whereas the repeater antenna was mounted on the opposite side of the tower from his QTH.

Re: [BVARC] Off topic: Fun with low band
DX is DX. That is why I still have an old copy of the WRTV Handbook. As a SWL going back to the 1950's some of the fun have enjoyed in the past has included checking out skip of the old television stations when conditions allowed. 73 Scott KD5FBA -Original Message- From: BVARC On Behalf Of Suggs, Marvin (KTRK-TV) via BVARC Sent: Wednesday, June 7, 2023 2:36 AM To: BVARC@bvarc.org Cc: Suggs, Marvin (KTRK-TV) Subject: [BVARC] Off topic: Fun with low band In addition to ham radio, I’m very interested in Low Band (30-50 MHz) scanner skip.
