| Thanks for the support. If y'all enjoy scanning that much you should consider becoming an amateur radio operator (ham). It is virtually painless and no longer requires morse code.

| thanks for the encouragement. i have heard some legendary '' radio voices in there, and a few humorous moments, like the time when some ham radio guys kid picked up the radio(in chattanooga) during a severe weather event and wanted to chat to the control operator. he (the operator) politely tried to tell the visitor'' to keep all the transmissions to weather related information, and we waited to see what he/she had to say next...such cool, and calm despite the enthusiasm of the visitor to the net'.the little kid just was fascinated with the radio...he probably didnt understand the severity of the situation, with the weather... and i was relieved when he finally signed off. for your alls sake..so you could carry on the business of relaying information..! ..(i think his dad pulled up in the driveway or something).they are moments to be remembered... anyways... i am working on low band fm pirate radio around my house 500mw or less.and trying to see if it(signal) gets past my mailbox. its occupying most of my leisure time ..but the kids love it...they all are ''radio stars''.. plugging their cd players in and playing d.j. for the day.we mostly monitor the ham traffic, because you guys definitely have it all well in hand...and as the saying goes...lead-follow...or get out of the way...so we stay out of the way.... we are an electronic-oriented bunch... with gadgets and gizmos.. and mostly... amateurs.. not ready for prime time(yet).plus, the scanner helps to overhear what polk p.d. and c.p.d is up to and hear what the boys in blue are getting themselves into......however, we maintain a lot of respect and admiration for your structure, and purpose serving the community in the ham radio bands. it deserves a lot of respect, and the highest regard.
