Hi Chip, yes there are websites, monitoring lists and circulars that specialize in utility listening. The WUN is just the biggest, not the only by any means. It has been my experience in the last 12 years of that part of the hobby, that about 90% of the "members" are anonymous non-posters. When the mailing addresses of list members were once public, they included almost every government agency. Monitoring marine safety on VHF and HF by hobbyists has definite public safety benefits very similar to licensed amateur groups such as the Maritime Mobile Net that works 14.300 mHz. The post may have been bait, and most of us would have chosen a little different form of explanation of what/where/why, etc. But there are very few affordable antennas manufactured for the bands commonly referred to as "Utility" (non-ham bands), and this is a logical place to ask for help in that area. 73, Jack Painter Virginia Beach, Va Sounds like a business opportunity. 73, Tom Donaly, KA6RUH |
