anyone have a streaming scanner?

also, switch on your travel banks, cdf is sending a shizload of crews from up here (NEU), leaving in about 15.

There has been one on ScannerBuff TeamSpeak - radio.scannerbuff.net:8767

Also www.scanoc.com has a OC CCCS feed.

It would be interesting to verify if they are indeed using CESRS as the new temporary
travel channel, or are still using the old fed frequency.

I copied a bit of traffic on the regular Travel channel yesterday.

They have not reprogrammed any of the VHF radios at work nor have I heard anything about it so I would be suprised if anything happens this season, especially since they did a major reprogram last year.

(I am assigned to a type III for a major SoCal agency).
