Hello,

Our company monitors the public safety radio system to assist people whose home or business was damaged by a fire, flood, or similar type of damage. We are seeking a location in Montgomery County MD where we can place a Discone antenna (if there is not one there already), a computer, SDRs, and few other small components. If you would enjoy having this type of system at your home or office, please contact me directly to discuss a win/win partnership.

Thank you!
John

I'll pass. If I need services after fire or weather event, I will reach out to them. I don't need them harassing me. After a hail event, I got hammered by out of town scammers offering roofing services. No thanks, I don't want that blood on my hands knowing I am helping companies that do this.

A Discone antenna for the 700-800Mhz band is a lousy choice. It is well documented that they do not perform well on that band. There are many better choices if you would check into antennas.

Unless you are a non-profit , offering free help, I agree with @R8000 I wouldn't be interested in helping out, been thru the scammers with hurricanes before.

We are not a roofing service and it is fine that you are not interested. Obviously we are only seeking people who enjoy listening to the public safety radio system and would find value in having that ability at their residents or work. But we totally understand your concerns. As for anyone reading this response, please note we did not ask this person directly (in other words, we are not spamming anyone by contacting them with an unsolicited request).

We would use the omnidirectional, full band Discone. Thank you for taking the time to let us know you are not interested.

This simply is not true. As I mentioned, we are seeking a win/win. This can mean a lot of things, including a monthly payment. I appreciate you making the point, we want to make this clear.
