Fall/Winter scanning prep...

[cowboymike1971]

So do your scanning habits change with the seasons? I usually take a look at my scanner banks-programs etc. evey fall and then re-vamp and prep for Fall/Winter listening. For me this usually means making sure I have all the State DOT freqs updated, city and county road crews/plows etc. I usually have a bank of school bus related freqs( Good road condition reports as they are usually out early in the A.M. and evenings.) This is also a good time to check antennas and coax feeds/lines and make sure they are good to make it thru another winter. So lets start a thread on this and have people all contribute as to what they may monitor with the seasons (esp, fall/winter) I bet there are some good ideas out there. Maybe its the crews/officials at the Seahawks games Maybe The NFL freqs. How about the Ski slopes? or winter resorts. Lets hear from ya.....

IDK about scanner preparation. I'll probably just unlock my town's DPW lowband freq and listen to them when it snows, if it snows at all this year here in NJ. Today it was 95 degrees. But fall/winter is my favorite time to listen to the scanner as there is more time to do so... Good Scanning.

This first couple of days of snow is the best time to scan the local channels.

Halloween isn't a bad to scan neither.

Don't forget to take a scanner to the mall on "black Friday", lot's of fun stuff to listen to.

Odd and Ends

NFL Freq's would be good. Especially the Visiting Teams.

Anyone near the Cruise Ports?

I prefer actually monitored postings. This list [Yup, seen it before] is so ancient that it can be carbon-dated. Thanks tho....

There are plenty of scannists who live near these Stadiums. Come on Folks, use the SEARCH feature on your scanners.

here are the NFL freqs i found. Not sure on how up to date though.

I start looking for amateur radio emergency net frequencies. I know in this region anything can happen at any time of the year. Well,almost anything. Last years winter storm up here,I found one confirmed emergency net frequency .

441.55 Sammamish EOC p.l 103.5

 

[cowboymike1971]

Sorry Bill for any trouble my posting may have caused. You had asked and I happen to find that in a hurry and posted it. I have no NFL freqs that I have ever monitored. I also use my SEARCH feature on my scanners plenty!

 

[ecps92]

Searching

Thats ok, we all need to remember many of the web sites on the net, have been stagnent for year with old data. I can still find one, listing FBI channels in Boston that were moved/converted to new frequencies, back in the early 90's.

[cowboymike1971]

Good catch Steve! Those are always nice to have for info during big storms or emergencies. Who else might have a list of ham stuff for the puget sound?

 

[jleverin]

Well, I'm not in Washington but fall is rapidly approaching here in Colorado(first freeze this weekend). I am a newbie but I should be pretty well prepared for Winter, I had the guy in the store basically program EVERYTHING into my pro-82. He said I could lock them out but it might be helpful having the taxi and wreckers on there because they communicate in bad weather about what streets are open and which ones to avoid-might come in handy. We'll see I guess...... I can remember as a kid when I had a desktop scanner, you could find out pretty much where the bad places were when the snow was on just by listening.

 

[lowboy654]

i have 5 scanners and all 5 are up to date with anything happening in my area, each one is setup for diffenent suff and my 97 and 96 are setup to do it all, i can not wait for the new GRE I will add two of them to my set up.

 

[cowboymike1971]

So lowboy you are going to grab a new GRE? I'm not so sure on them. At first glance it looked kinda cool but after lots of reading and Pre-reviews i'm not so hot on them. i especially don't like that the freq range seems to be tamed down. Doesn't seem as wide open as some other scanners. What is the attraction for you to this new scanner>

 

[hoser147]

Now is an excellant time of year to update freqs and check your outside equipment....Before it gets to nasty and things go haywire. Its hard to even consider going up and checking things out after the snow and ice arrives. Good Scannin Hoser

Yes I belive will..... I have been a big fan of GRE for years now and they state that there scanners will support rebanding and I belive that, will be years down the road for us in Washington state they make a great scanner and I would love to add to what I already have. now I know to other guys make a great scanner and am thinking about getting one of them to.
