Enjoying my new scanner, recently listened to the traffic generated
after a young man
attempting to rob a bank, was pursued and speedily captured by New
Yorks Finest.

I occasionally pick up New Paltz N.Y. over 70 miles away on my Uniden
BC 95 Scanner;

( Truck stuck under the toll booth )

Even though I am ~ 300 feet above sea level, I find this remarkable.

Go a rat shack Center loaded whip,

am waiting for Fair Radio to send me some co-ax

so I can mount the whole thing in a window . .

Is there any record for long distance reception on scanners; ?

I don't know, but in Texas (Dallas) I was able to
pick-up Mexican police and the California Highway
Patrol on Low VHF. This was during the 90's when
there were lots of crazy sunspot cycles going on.
Here in the mountains, I can only pick up local
stuff on VHF but Shortwave and AM Band is very active.
Lots of CB skip too.

Adjacent octaves can have overlapping characteristics.

Yes. "42"
