RX Uniden BCT15X - ARC XT PRO Software. Antenna - Inverted L.

Also using a tailor made High pass filter made by PAR electronics of Glenville NC which cures my problem of Short Wave images across low VHF.

 

[zerg901]

Culpepper County Virginia on 33.82 with no PL - 1045 AM - heard in Boston Mass area - dispatcher IDs as"Culpepper" - southern accents - Eastern Standard Time - fire and ambulance units - possibly is a patch from 800 Mhz or UHF

 

[zerg901]

kkn50 - Google gives Wake Forest NC as the location for "Richland Creek Church"

 

[kkn50]

That is a good idea, never thought of doing that.

Catching this one right now in Denver: NWS re-broadcast for Orlando area and "aqua-gardening tips"? Almost sounds like FM Capture bouncing back and forth between two stations...

I only hear it when the band is open south.

31.20 C203.5 NFM 14:49 20/01/2012 Spanish taxi, probably Central America. Rare here.

 

[splinters]

35.08 146.2 is Acapulco Car Svc.-Bkln. WQCF688
35.52 173.8 is Denise Car Svc.-Bkln. WPZZ570

Since I don't speak Spanish, it's tough to ID the many Spanish speaking Taxis in NYC unless you can pin down the neighborhood.
