2002

Prior to that , we belonged to Trunkedradio.net and sometime back in November or December 2002, we received e-mails to convert our membership from Trunkedradio over to RadioReference.
I believe , if you didn' t , you were converted automatically on the changeover date and that is why we see many Dec. 19 , 2002 join dates. I responded and kept my Nov. 2002 join date.

At first ,before I read this post , I thought that RadioReference was rolling out a Premier version.

Here is the last archive of Trunkedradio.net that shows activity (11 Feb 04):

Additionally, an archive of Trunkedradio.net taken on 03 Apr 04 shows a message stating that Trunkedradio.net changed to Radioreference.com.

Additionally, a search of this sites archives (which I should have consulted first):roll:
shows an introductory message as follows:

Congratulation to the Radio Reference Team (All the Administrators) who made it possible to release such a wonderful resource to the scanning community. This is over a YEAR in the making.

There will be lots of bugs, updates, and the entire database is still in BETA. However, we've come a long way!

As you can see, the conventional database is fairly light right now -- so please submit your data so we can add it into the database.

Submit your bug reports by clicking on "HELP" in the top-right corner of the pages.

Enjoy the new site!

Thanks for setting the record straight 16b
