Greetings from the Mount Washington Valley!
I am looking for users in or around the MWV who are willing to help out a newbie by sharing tips on active frequencies, best times to monitor, improving reception, etc. At this time, I have no particular monitoring preference. Anything goes!
I have been an active SW DXer since 2000 and have expanded my HF horizons by purchasing an AOR8600 MKIIB, unblocked, via eBay. The last week has been spent familiarizing myself with this receiver, frequency allocations and where to tune. Using only my SW Beverages and dipoles, I am hearing 155.910 NH State Police Dispatch-North; 162.500 NOAA via Mt. Washington; 156.150 Maine State Police Dispatch-Zone 1 and a lot of rag-chewing on 2M. I plan on purchasing a proper antenna system and APCO25 decoder in the near future.
Thanks in advance,
Scott
