NC Roll Call

[gr8rcall]

Hello all.Name is David a ham from New Hampshire moving to Mebane NC next month.

Hey David!
I live in Alamance County too! Let me know if you have any scanning questions!

Also, as richardbritt said, you will need a digital scanner for Alamance County.
The only thing left on VHF is Fire Dispatch, and the dispatcher only side on EMS dispatch.

Hello all, I'm Josh in Winston-Salem. I have a Cobra 19 Ultra III in my Grand Cherokee. It stays on 19 most of the time. I also have a Uniden Bearcat BC60XLT-1 that lazily follows me around. It could be in the Jeep, my work truck, in the house, or could find its way into the wife's car for long trips. I may soon have a second CB. I'll have to decide if I'm gonna make it a base station or do a covert install in my work truck.

~ My name is Gary
. Not a ham, but a ham listener. I can't get a proper antenna up where I live due to HOA rules so I make due with listening on a long wire antenna mostly on 40m.
~ Durham, NC
~ HP-1, 996XT scanners, Kenwood 590 HF
~ I listen to Durham PD / County, it's busy. Thanks to KE4ZNR, who sent me favorite lists for the HP-1, I also listen to Viper. For HF I listen to 40 meters or 15 meters, and sometimes tune around the dial. I miss the old days when there were lots of international broadcast stations on SW.

This is a great forum. Thanks to you all and KE4ZNR for your hard work and good information.

Hello,

My name is John and I have been anxiously waiting to introduce myself...anxious because introducing myself meant that I had retired and was actually living here (for as long as the good people of Wilmington will have me!!).
I was a police officer for 33+ years and finally pulled the plug. I am an amateur radio enthusiast (KB2COP) although I do more listening than talking.
I am looking forward to scanning the Wilmington area freq.'s, including but not limited to: police, fire, aircraft, midair etc.. You know...the same things most of us enjoy listening to. I have the temporary predicament of renting an apartment until my wife finds a permanent, non-HOA, place to live! This means no exterior antenna.
I have far too many radios to list, besides, I always thought that was a bit pretentious. Suffice to say I have a good part of the spectrum covered ;-)

Thank you for the opportunity to join and introduce myself. Looking forward to contributing as much as I can.

John,
Welcome to RR!
Congrats on the retirement and you will quickly find that the Wilmington/New Hanover area is a hotbed of radio activity across the spectrum. From Public Safety to Marine Radio communications to Satellites and more you will have chances to receive it all.
Feel free to join us in any and all conversations here at RR.com and we hope
it is a positive place in which to spend time!

Hi everyone. I'm Josh and I live in the Wilmington/Rocky Point area. I'm pretty new to scanners, but have been around them since I was little. Right now I have a hand-me-down pro-94 from my dad that I'm trying to figure out.

Welcome Josh!
Good to have you join us!
I answered your questions in your other thread. Probably with not the answers you wanted. Sorry.
But we do hope you quickly consider this a great place to learn about radio monitoring

Update: my name is still Josh, but can now add KK4TUX to it.

I've added a Baofeng UV-5R and Yaesu FT-1802m to the inventory.

I'm still in Winston-Salem.
