Im looking forward to this Scanning Session too. When I attended the Fest for the first time 3 years ago i would have been lucky to listen to shortwave for over one hour in each year. After hanging out in with you dudes I purchased 3 new SDRs, 2 HF loops (Eric i think it was your fault!) and 2016 may be the year some new VHF & UHF will find its way into my shack.
I do actually feed a fair chunk of Australian ATC to liveATC (have since the early days) but this consumes all my 3 scanners 24x7 - I actually need to get a machine that I can actually use for casual listening! See you guys tomorrow!

It reminds me of the titles used for the sequels to 1970s disaster movies. I appreciate the opportunity and hope to present a forum that meets Scum standards. Being in many aspects of the radio hobby since the 1970s, there were many topics I could present. Discussing changes of the past year was a given. As I worked on my presentation over the past weeks, it grew to add a discussion about information sources that I regularly use for listening above 30 MHz. There were paper guides, like Police Call and the Scannermaster Guides, in the old days. Now there are mailing lists, message forums, and various websites. Scanning above 30 MHz is mostly a local activity, and what a person can hear depends on the radio and the location. I like to explore the radio spectrum and see what is around me. Looking forward to a great fest. 73 Eric _______________________________________________ Swlfest mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/swlfest To unsubscribe: Send an E-mail to [email protected]?subject=unsubscribe, or visit the URL shown above.
