Hi all:

I just purchased my first scanner in hopes of getting into a new hobby.
With this in mind, I will apologize in advance if some of my questions seem
"elementary"

I am also interested in aviation but cannot seem to locate a good listing of
airport frequencies. I am assuming that airports all operate on one
specific frequency for a great deal of their communications with the
aircraft. Could someone please give me these frequencies or direct me to a
website where I could get them?

Also, I have been told that purchasing a frequency "guide" would be a waste
of my money. Could I please have your opinion that would include a good
source of frequencies?

I live in South Florida, Broward county to be exact, and would also be
interested in a local "club".

Thank you in advance fir any help you may be able to give me.
Glenn


Glenn,

Greetings. I can recommend a few things to you since I live in your
area.

First, there is a local group that is part of Yahoo Groups. I'm not
sure if you are familiar with this or not, but go here and do some
reading:

http://groups.yahoo.com/

The name of the group I'm talking about is SEFLORIDA. Here is a
direct URL for the group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SEFLORIDA/

SEFLORIDA is a group dedicated to South East Florida scanning. It's a
nice bunch of folks. I have done very little posting on the group -
mostly I lurk, but there is a lot to be learned by just reading.

Also, one of the guys on the group makes and sells a book/CD called
the South Florida trunking guide. Here is a link for that book:

http://www.scannerdude.com/

I know you said you into scanning airports, but this book covers all
the counties in South Florida and is a wealth of info. No, I'm not
affiliated with it at all, just a happy customer.

This should give you a pretty good start.

Also, you might want to take a look through Yahoo Groups for your
particular scanner type - there are groups set up for particular
scanners - for example - I've got a Uniden BCD396T and I've learned a
tremendous amount from that group.

Good luck and enjoy. I enjoy listening to the airports myself on
occasion.

Here's a few to get you going for starters:
