Hurricane season is around the corner and that means more severe weather coming. The potential for flooding, damaging winds and tropical weather is high this year. Seeing that I'm probably not going to be out volunteering like I did during sandy and Irene, I thought I can put up a list of PS...

Please list your counties and the service they provide. For example, Nassau county FD and westchester county easily makes it way into NYC. I know it depends whether you have a portable or mobile or what antenna gain you have and also your location. But list the frequency you heard outside of...
