So this holiday weekend I stayed with the in-laws in Laughlin, NV, which for thoes unaware is a small town on the Colorado River bordering NV and AZ and has 6 or 7 casinos in a row along the river. We were staying on the 14th floor with an awesome view of the river, all of the casinos, and most of the main roads. Armed with a decent set of binoculars and my BC246T, I loaded up all of the local frequencies to include the casinos, local law enforcement, river enforcement, AMR, parks, etc. for both the NV side and the Bullhead City emergency services across the river.
And it was one of the best scanning experiences I have ever had.
My excellent vantage point, paired with the fact that it was the 4th of July weekend was a perfect recipe for exciting radio comms.
And it delivered.
I spent most of the afternoon and evening with my laptop, scanner, and binos just watching everything unfold. It was very exciting to be able to hear a police call, start looking outside and be able to locate the situation. From boating stops, police stops, casino staff dealing with situations, folks prepping the fireworks.
Just a fantastic scanning experience that I wanted to share with everyone.
If anyone else has any good holiday scanning stories, please share them.
Cheers
