Harlock's Frequency Scans - JOURNAL

[Harlock]

Hi Folks...

I'm a newbie here to RR.com, but have been into radios for over a decade. I recently moved to NC, and have been getting back into scanning again. Living in a new state will do that to a radio hobbyist.

Anyway, I've been out of the loop on the scanning scene for a while, and am using an old Radio Shack Pro-29 800MHz scanner. It still seems to do the trick.

I am going to post my scans as often as I can here on RR.com with the hopes that other North Carolinians can help decipher what we're picking up.

Lemme know if you recognize any of these. Yesterday I found one and managed to figure out that it is a television station known as CWTV. I found their website, and schedule for the Asheville area.

The above three frequencies were confirmed on the Pisgah Forest NEWS WATCH TEAM Website Frequency List - WGCR NEWS - website dated 'modified' on MON. DEC. 17,2001

I find the NANTAHALLA POWER frequency to be the most interesting, because it may help explain the abundance of other strange beeps/tones that are being broadcast out there. Thanx NEWS WATCH TEAM (even though this website is waaaaaaaaay outdated; I guess I'll be updating it from now on).
