We had somereports of 20" called into the local SkyWarn nets. Before we get toour regular column I want to mention some information regardingweather monitoring in the NJ/NYC area. There are basically fourdifferent frequencies you should have your ear on: 146.7000PL141.3 is the 10-70 Repeater located in the Ramapo Mountainsit covers Bergen and Passaic Counties 147.0600 PL 114.8is the WECA Repeater that covers Westchester and RocklandCounties in NY 462.6250 Gives road conditions through NorthernNJ, it’s very active during major storms I figured this month wewould go down south to Essex County, NJ for a closer look atsome of the frequencies down there:SCANNER DIGEST NEWSLETTER – ISSUE 23 PAGE 12

I think this is a great idea,but let’s take it one step further folks. I would like to see securitydepartments in malls, amusement parks and zoos monitor FRS 1in case the person can’t reach help any other way. The secondpart of this is parents must teach their children to avoid usingFRS 1 for non-emergency traffic, kind of like when to use 911.They have thirteen other channels to play on! Think about it andget back to me.Until next time, JustinPhotos courtesy of Loren FieldsFrom bottom to top: analog cell bag phone in middle of seat;Kenwood V7A guts underneath rack (blue head is mounted onthe dash) Next up ICOM IC-7000H 2-meter, above that AzdenPCS-7500 6-meter rig; Cobra 146GTL Chicken Band 11-meter.Scanner on right side is a Pro-92; mini transceiver is an AlincoDJ-C5 (or whatever handheld du jour I choose).
