said in rec.radio.scanner: Really don't need the name of the airport if he's 10 miles away and using a hand held he is not going to hear anythang!!! I hear plenty from 40 miles away from an airport using the rubber duck. You're sure a fountain of misinformation, aren't you? |

Then you ether live in the middle of a desert or on the planes with nothing from you to the airport!!! Or on a mountain overlooking the airport. I have lived 12.7 miles away from KPIT Pittsburgh International and before I put up a Scantenna the only thing I could hear was the planes, after going up 45 feet I now hear the tower. While in the U.S. Army as a gun ship driver for 24 years I could never hear the tower on a hand held if I was 4 or more miles away with out going up on a building or being higher then the buildings I was near. And yes I am a fountain of information :-) -- That Other George Please send your spam to: IRC #ScannerRadio_Warez For all your Scanner Controll Warez UseNET: alt.binaries.radio-scanner For all your Scanner Controll Warez UseNET: alt.binaries.radio.scanner.warez For all your Scanner Controll Warez http://www.scannertesting.com |

And yes I am a fountain of information :-) Read George's claim again - he didn't say "he is not going to hear anything transmitted from the ground", he said "he is not going to hear anythang". I said that I hear many air band signals. Unless you live far from civilization, you will too - with a rubber ducky. |
