For me, it would be to be able to hear once in a lifetime transmission
that makes history. Boy it would be fun to hear Bin Laden, for
instance, right before he got hit with a missile.

What about you?

Not likely on a scanner unless you're within a few miles....

I was monitoring the Hiroshima Mayors Office on August 8 , 1945. There
was this tremendous "BOOM" and he said "What the **** was that?"

I'll never forget it.

How DO you say "what the **** was that?" in Japanese?

Amazing, that, since the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.

He'd probably be saying something like, "the weather's been pretty hot
here lately. How are the folks?" I imagine it's the sort of thing that
people say on their cellphones just before they wreck their cars.

He'd likely be saying 'Call me paranoid ... But I've got the strangest
feeling that I'm being watched' .....

to see what's there.

I started out as a AM broadcast band/FM broadcast band/Shortwave Broadcast
bands listener and dx'er.

Somehow that evolved into scanning as I found out that there were even more
radio frequencies being used for radio transmissions than just AM, FM, and
Shortwave.

That's why I like my IC-R3 even despite a lot of it's shortcomings.

It covers a very wide frequency range.

It would probably be to expensivve for me to actually get a good radio for each
of the specific frequency bands that it covers.

On it, I can listen to AM broadcasts, FM broadcasts, Shortwave broadcasts, the
regular scanner bands, VHF lo, VHF air, VHF hi, UHF, and UHF-T) or watch VHF
and UHF tv broadcasts on it.

Well, I guess I won't be able to do that last one with it once all tv
transmissions are digital in another few years or so.
