I’m picking up some serious ducting tonight. I live near Pensacola Florida and I’m monitoring as far west as Fort Hood Texas, numerous 800 systems in Louisiana to include Jefferson Parrish. Numerous spots in Mississippi and as far east as Gainesville Florida 800 trunk system. I wish it was like this all the time. :D

Note: Texas DPS is coming in nice and clear also.

It's almost 0100 and I hate to call it a night. The ducting just got better but I have to go to work in the AM. This is by far the best ducting I've had in the last 2 years of scanning. I was able to reach all the way to the NASA facility, McDill AFB, Central Georgia, Central Alabama, etc. Your map was dead on. I was picking up everthing in the orange area.

I am in west central FL and the ducting was great last night. My Pro163 with a Diamond RH77 antenna on the back was picking up Orange County Sheriff and fire. That is about 100 miles away. I was getting Tampa PD and fire with 5 bars on all frequencies, they are 60 miles away. I hope this will continue tonight. What are you listening on?

Yep, I've been watching it roll in tonight. Last night I didn't get to bed until 0200 and had to get up at 0530 for work. I'm not going to make the same mistake tonight. I wish I could but I was dragging major butt today.
