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; ?

It's a whole lot further than 70 miles. I'm in Ohio and have heard
California "Chips" and Texas units on low band, a bunch of New England
police and fire on VHF Hi, and Minnesota, Wisconsin, and a couple of
other PD and FD's from the area on UHF.
