this must be a reprint from back in the early 90s ........

dunno where " YOU " live , but in my west coast metro
area of 1.2 million population, you could count " all "
the daily " analog " cellphone traffic on your fingers and toes.

99.9 % of all previous analog cell calls have been switched to
digital, out here, and there is pretty much " nothing " of ANY
substance to be found on the analog cellband anymore.
just a rare few thinly scattered traffic on the " B " band
channels. the " a " channels are ALL digital traffic now.

if you actually do have active analog cell activity in your area ,
treasure it while it lasts, it's not long for this world. not many
people have much analog traffic left. the ole " picture window "
has shrunk to less than a " peep hole " these days .

Who ever said the cell freqs had nothing to offer doesn't have a
capable scanner, or no conception of great drama when they hear it.

They're alive with activity that rivals any 5 star script ...
everything from mall security dragnets, TV personalities swearing off
the air, mil-ops transmissions taking place locally, drive-thrus, to
catching cops speaking candidly on cell phones.

It's obvious to me why the gestapo outlawed our means to eavesdrop, but
the interesting part of the private conversations it doesn't want us to
hear, is that they reveal a lot more than the censor thinks.

Meaning -- despite the attempts to suppress truth and shut us all up,
people KNOW what's going on.

Look, we all enjoy the same enthusiasms, but if you don't have a no-gap
rig, you'll never know why only law enforcement can buy them that way.

For me, this ain't no hobby --it's a picture window.
