I saw this on the Ohio forums and thought it might be neat to see the WV forums What county you reside in and monitor and the counties around you monitor the most and if you monitor other states what other states you monitor.
Cabell county is my county and I monitor Wayne county, Lawrence county in Ohio and Boyd county in Kentucky.

I'm High up on the hill in Ohio Co.

I always monitor:
WV - Ohio, and Marshall,
OH - Belmont and Monroe,


I regularly monitor:
WV - Brooke, Hancock, Wetzel, Monongalia
OH - Harrison, Guernsey, Jefferson,
PA - Washington, City of Pittsburgh

I occasionally monitor:
WV- anything that comes in (wood co SO, ritchie co SO, marion co)
OH - columbiana, washington, anything that comes in
PA - allegheny

It makes for some tough listening when 4 scanners are saying 4 different things at the same time... I've got so much stuff programmed on my radios that I'm always hearing something.... now I'm gonna have to learn the new WV state radio sys.

jbdx241,
I don't know how you can handle listening to school buses. I did that for a while in VA till I figured out how to enter trunk channels. The ladies gabbing on there drove me crazy...I went home to Youngstown, OH from VA. I listened to PASP and OSP all the way there.

Cabell and Wayne Schools are alright but beside school buses here in Huntington Listen to the Yellow Cab the dispatcher always having fights with the cab drivers. And the people who work on the barges they always cuss sometimes I lock them out

I do also have Loudoun Co. Va.,Frederic Co. Va.City of Winchester,VSPolice on other banks that I will from time to time listen to.
My scanner is RS PRO-96, using Win96 by Don Starr and pro96com software by Mike Vander Veer. Real nice combination.
Went to RS today after this upper post and picked up a Friends and Family 30% discount on a pro-2055.

Southern silliness...

Logan County here.. listening to Boone, Logan, sometimes Lincoln. Mostly Police/Fire/EMS.
All VHF, with 1-2 UHF links. No trunking. FD is all Vollie, Sheriff's Dept is what's left from FBI arrests of Sheriff and others [it's getting better], Small town cops with DUI's, DVP's and such, Local EMS is "privately owned" but funded by the county and is an acceptable setup.

All I can say is it's quite entertaining.
Plenty of music, cat-calls, monkey noises, on-air arguments and other hi-tech redneck nonsense. LOL
Ya gots to hear it to believe it. Dispatchers are rather 'laid-back' in their ops and demeanor as well.

Had a possible aircraft down not long ago and WOW... somebody needs to give these guys a comms class. People going in 20 different directions, 3 freqs, NO one in charge.... NO one assigned to any freq, etc... Plenty of 'who is where?' and 'say what' and 'yeah, we know that already' as they all hopped freqs looking for each other for 2 hours...
A blackhawk showed up to help search and-- Get this -- danged if they didn't put him on the EMS repeater output... and then left him there! Dispatch keying over them, them keying over tones, it was a major cluster, no doubt.
But that's par for the course 'round these parts.

In their defense, the police have figured out why they can't catch the Duke boys and now use single-code inversion scrambling and announce when they need to "switch" for passage of sensitive info, but as we all know, $39.95 solves that problem as well.
Good reading the posts! Thanks for the info.
