Wisconsin Roll Call

[RevGary]

Hi, everyone - I started one of these in our alternate home state of Alabama and thought that it might be a good idea to start one here as well.

Just list your County of Residence and if you wish, a little about your scanning or amateur radio interests.

Brown County about 5 months per year - Pastor and Chaplain Responder.

Waupaca/Outagamie county line...

Location: New London, WI [ Just south of Karl. ]

Been scanning since the late 80s. Still have my first scanner, the 210XL.

Finally got my amateur ticket last year. I'm a member of Waupaca County ARES/RACES/Skywarn.
Our repeaters which we use for Skywarn:
146.925 PL118.8 W9GAP Ogdensburg primary repeater
147.390 CSQ Waupaca ARES backup repeater
147.165 PL118.8 Emergency portable repeater

I monitor Waupaca and Outagamie county as well as the Fox Valley. I like to listen to shortwave and hope to get some HF gear soon. Been playing around with computers since I was 12. (My first computer ran at 0.8 MHz. Ha!)

 

[OpSec]

I don't actively scan outside of work, so here is the equipment used at work:

Location: KSB433

8 M/A-Com VHF base stations, scattered throughout 7 counties
1 Motorola MTS2000 800 MHz portable
1 Motorola MCS2000 800 MHz desktop
1 M/A-Com EDACS patch to VHF
1 BC-780XLT (with everything else)

Plus whatever equipment of the state's or my own that gets utilized for special event days (severe WX, special details, etc). I am licensed amateur radio operator, but when your job is communications it's not very often that the hobby radios are used.

[cpd38]

-- I reside in northern Dane County --

I try to monitor police and fire departments in Dane, Columbia, Dodge,Washington, Jefferson, Sauk, Green, Rock, WSP,etc. It's pretty much whatever I can get in at the moment. There are other counties I monitor and it depends on conditons on how well they come in (Grant, Richland, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Vernon, Winnebago,etc)


At home I use a Uniden 780xlt with an outdoor antenna. 246t for mobile use. Those are my primary scanners.

I'd just like to take a moment to thank everyone who has checked in so far. Your participation is truly appreciated.
