Detroit area "get together"?

[kc8qln]

Has anyone ever organized a metro area "get together"?

Someplace we can all gather, check out each other's radio equipment, vehicle setups, etc?

I don't know if it's been done, but I think it would be kind of cool.

What does everyone think about this?

I think it would work..

How about Stoney Creek Metro Park?

....wherever that is, kinda sounds like Washtenaw County.

It's in northern Macomb County, at the "end" of Mound road...

That sounds like a great idea, I would love to meet other scanner junkies like me.

Well, North Macomb County is a bit further than I'd like to be driving, sure it's still the "tri-county" area, but a bit rural still.

We have to find something in the middle cause even Stoney Creek is 40 miles from me

That a little too far for me too.

If I were to help arrange such an event, it would have to be a little more "west side" for me.

There are a number of city owned parks in the southern end of Oakland County. Getting a shelter might be difficult at best on a weekend. Maybe something up around Southfield/Troy/Novi might work out?

Freedom Hill County Park ?

This is not a bad idea at all. Maybe we can also arrange for a tour of some fire or police department as a group? I would even love to visit a 9-1-1 Center. One location we could try for is the fire museum in Ypsilanti?

My DT instructor is a Sgt with Southfield PD. I Can always ask him

I have some Novi Police connections, let me ask them

Then again there is always MSP and meeting at the Academy for the Grand Tour..

That would take time to set up. Im not sure if they still do them but I can find out.
