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; ?
