I'd like to know where any of you may take your scanners around town when you want to listen to things that aren't in your neighborhood/city, or want to scan and search for new (to you) frequencies? Do you go to parks? Shopping malls? Are there safe places for aircraft and train spotters to go to watch and listen, etc.
I was thinking of maybe the deck park atop I-10, but I've heard that there's a lot of homeless there, and it may be less than safe.
I would think atop South Mtn park would have too much RFI from the towers, and what is the entrance fee?
The cell phone lots at Sky Harbor have a 30-minute time limit, IIRC?
How about near the Army National Guard's Papago Reservation on McDowell Rd?
White Tanks park? Estrella park? McDowell Mtn park? Usery park? Cave Creek Recreation area? Other parks? How many have entrance fees, and how much are they? (Yes, I could probably look up entrance fees online. I'm just curious as to whether anyone goes to any of them, and what your experience was.)
I have the weekend off, and was thinking of doing this today or tomorrow.
