Awesome collection of portables and good looking shack,i listen to
military comm's here in Western N.Y. but it sounds like alot better
action down there. I wish we had more to listen to in this area.

Thanks for the kind words, Dan. Took a few years to accumulate the desktops and
handhelds I needed for Mil comms monitoring. Portables offer a significant
advantage for Mil comms monitoring.
I live right at the departure end of Patrick AFB's Rnwy 20 and within radio
range of acft approaching Homestead, MacDill, NAS Jacksonville, Eglin,
Hurlburt, Tyndall, etc, and right between Avon Park Bombing Range and
Pinecastle Bombing Range. But even if you are not alongside a Military base
you will be surprised at how many military flights are passing overhead your
area. A half-decent outside antenna will surprise you if you plug the right
freqs into your scanner or search the 225-400 and 138-144 range in AM mode.
Also a handheld with a Radio Shack center loaded whip ($14.95) is an amazing
combination for snagging Mil comms.
As for freqs, if you join the Milcom group ) you'll find
a lot of postings like mine that include listings of the freqs guys are
hearing. And there are lots of Mil monitors in the Northeast part of the
country. these postings are much more up-to-date than any web-site freq
listing you'll find or any book you might buy.
If I can help you any, don't hesitate; I'll be more than willing to guide you
any way I can toward enjoying Mil comm monitoring.
