My alert for decades has been three yard sale scanners that cover 42-46
MHz 
and are set for CHP and a few S-SW utilities that are always
transmitting. 
When the cops come thru its double hop and single hop for the FL/TX/LA 
frequencies which sometimes double hop into the Caribbean and Central 
America.

For F2 I listened to 46-49 MHz TV carriers from VK and elsewhere. I dont

think there will be any more CH 1 activity from Europe the next cycle.

Antenna is staggered HB 3 el's on the chimney. The scanner rebroadcasts
to a 
little FM band transmitter which covers the full property area with a
good 
signal.

When DX season is running I also keep Packet Cluster running with an
audible 
alert for 6M spots.

I "try" to not miss much! The KW rig handles CW/SSB and a Clegg Zeus and

Interceptor covers AM.

Hallicrafters content is that the 6M transverter is a modified HA-6.
