PopComm Masters of Scanning

[blantonl]

Congratulations to some RadioReference.com Members as being named "Masters of Scanning" by Popular Communications -- Innovators who have helped shape our hobby!

Mark Meece (Mr. MONIX)
Rich Carlson (aka. Damn we hate your shack)

The other two named were Gene Hughes (Who needs no introduction) and Lou Campagna (Scanner Digest, NESN Fame). They may be members here, but obviously Mark and Rich are pretty familiar faces around here.

Congrats guys - your efforts have really contributed some great things to our hobby over the years!

Warm regards,

LIndsay

Speaking of PopComm, look what they said of RR:

SCANTECH

RadioReference.com—The Place To Be

by Ken Reiss



Getting good frequency information is always a big challenge for scanner enthusiasts, whether they’re just getting started or are old hands. Frequency usage changes just often enough to make a completely up-to-date and accurate database difficult at best. RadioShack used to carry and recommend Police Call for new scanner users. But times have changed, prompting this letter from Dan S.

Since there is no more Police Call at RadioShack, or anywhere else for that matter, Dan wrote in to ask what is the best website for current scanner frequencies. I’m glad you asked, Dan, as I’ve been struggling with that same issue. The good news is that there is significant help available at a site called radioreference.com. Described on its homepage as “the world’s largest radio communications reference,” it offers vast amounts of information on conventional frequency assignments, trunked radio systems, frequencies, talkgroups, FCC License assignments, maps, and so much more. Since a picture’s worth a thousand words, I thought it would be helpful to take a look and see what they have to offer in pictorial form.

I was surprised Bill Cheek wasn't included in that article...

There should be an annual "Bill Cheek Memorial" award for contribution to the scanning hobby, sponsored by some commercial outfit that can back it with some worthwhile prizes.

Congratulations to all of you. There would surely be a distinct vacuum in the radio scanning/listening hobby were it not for your abilities and expertise as well as of all the other people who make up the Popular Communications Staff.
