Can anyone in St.Catharines monitor Toronto PS. Or is TO too far away. Also looking for a good list for Niagara MilAir. Large MOA covers almost all of the US side of the lake. Whats the scoop?
Wow two days and nobody in St Catherines or Hamilton. I am moving in that direction this summer and it would help knowing how far from Toronto you can Monitor Toronto. I don't want to move all that way and find out i'm just out of range of all the fun.
I was able to monitor TPS when I lived on the 17th floor of an apartment also in the hammer.
As for St. Kitts, sorry noone got back to you here sooner.
I was generally able to pick up Fleetnet towers for Fonthill & the falls from most areas of the city.
I can also monitor the encrypted signal of whatever the extremely killjoy & secretive(lol) Niagara police call themselves but I have never monitored TPS from St. Kitts.
I would guesstimate that with a decent antenna you should be able to acquire the TPS system. Toronto is pretty much directly across the lake i.e. nothing to impede the signal, in fact the lake might help it out.
Hopefully someone from the area will give you a definate answer.

I live in Mississauga and can get Niagara stuff often, i even pull in fire service in New York State.. i should also mention that i often drive the QEW from Mississauga to Buffalo and listen to TPS and PEEL often the entire drive .. it cuts out after the Garden City Skyway.. once im ont he Niagara Falls side of that bridge.. nothing..
I should also mention i use the south tower that sits atop First Canadian Place.

Yeah that is 100% correct, i should also mention i have a proper mag-mount scanner antenna atop my car.. without the antenna the signal is shotty, even along the water..
Thats great news folks, I am looking into a highrise on Hamilton Mountain ( I didn't know there was a mountain in Hamilton) . So it sounds like a discone ant and a highrise should do it. Thanks Guys.
