Lowell Federal Freqs

Just moved to the area, anyone have any insight on what federal frequencies are active in the area? Any cool stories? I'd be interested in hearing any input..

Thanks!

It's best to search for stuff from your area. Make a list of stuff you can hear from your area.
Review your notes with online federal pages.

See this topic for the best way to scan the federal bands.

Look around in the RR Federal wiki pages.

They're out there, lots in the clear. Search 138-142, 148-150, 162-174 & 400-420. Best results are Monday - Friday from 9-5. Occasionally there will be some night time and weekend activity, but for the most part, regular business hours.

Are most digital?

Are most digital?

Pretty much yes, you will need a digital scanner to monitor most Federal freqs in Middlesex County, Southern NH. There is some remaining Analog radios out there but they are getting fewer and fewer.

None yet in Mass, but we never know

Weekends? Banks are open Weekends :twisted:

Kenny, Glad to see the 400-406 being added to suggested Search ranges.

After my Encounter with the "White Whale" - maybe MT will make that a FREE online section someday, it's amazing where the FED's will appear.
