Good conditions tonight

[EJB]

After watching the New York Yankees screw up numerous times and the Jays win again, I set out on the balcony tonight with my least deaf scanner (BCD 396XT) to do some searches.

Normally the LMRN towers I get are Hamilton and maybe Niagara Falls or Mississauga, but from B-fad to Kitchener to King City and Whitby. Conditions are good tonight as we head back into a hot and humid air mass.

Add in Primrose and (042) in Simcoe

Do you use a whip antenna out there or an outdoor antenna?

A whip on my balcony up here in downtown Hamilton.

Conditions were certainly good during the recently heatwave. I was pulling in most of Western NY conventional stuff as well

I've been listening to Cattaraugus and Chautauqua NY Public safety systems for about a month. Coming in 4-5 bars with full quieting.

Just out of curiosity, how does 6070 kHz come in for you? You’re close to them, but I don’t know where they’re aiming their signal.

I'll check to see if I can hear it on a shortwave radio

There are various web based SDR setups you can check and see for various areas as well.

Enjoying the conditions allowing me to monitor Niagara County(NY) Public Safety via my SDR.

Caught an interesting Sheriff's Office OTA alias:

P25, BEE00.4F1, 218, 1008251, 50, Normal, 3, 2025/08/07 13:58, "", "SO 0093 Grapes", E596C799

Who's this imposter? There is only one Don Cherry!

can we update the 4F1 wiki to indicate that OTA is on the system. FYI I captured the system in London area as well.
