Remember the old highway phone band around 35 meg's? It was for car phones
and was meant for more longrange stuff then thd VHF stuff on 152 megs at
least around here. Will have to share some funny stories about that. We
need to talk on echolink soon. Jim WA6EKS.

I used to listen to I think it was the DC sherriffs department or something
in the 30 megs area on an old patrolman scanner someone gave me years ago.
This was mid 90's or so...and I used to leave the thing on preset scan
sometimes...and when the good dx was rolling, I could hear all sorts of cool
stuff from the lower 48 up in the Yukon. I had a home made VHF ground plane
antenna at about 10 feet off the ground as a scanner antenna.
What else can one do when it's 40 below outside?
