Been getting stuff all over the state the last 1-2 days. And picked up a Georgia P25 System last night on 800 MHz.

Same here. In fact, the reception VHF/UHF wise has been unusually good for about a week now.

By the way, 10 meters is open.

Heard the MDFR North Dispatch site in Clearwater last night. Very brief and lots of noise but this was on stock XL200 antenna.

@batdude those 2 sites you picked up today I did too in Panama City but I didn't do nothing with computer just scan search and I was able to pick these below. I'm waiting for a day or so see what bad weather we will get in my area. Usually bands like this we crazy nasty weather a day or so later.

Crap, y'all need to send some of this up to NC! There's some TRBOMAX and FleetTalk Carolinas sites in SC that I've been trying to get confirmed LCNs on for a while now!

I got home around 2 this morning and decide too see if any open bands were open up. What I was only getting a few hits from AL to MS. I did get 2 new sites for 2 systems. 1 of them took a few years to get info for that one system.
