Hello all
A couple of questions. .  IF we are to move to the Seattle  area. .I 
was wondering if anyone  by chance knew what ARTC frequencies I should 
have pre programmed in my Pro97. .AND I would assume that the ATC 
frequencies for Seattle would be within range of my radio as well? I 
see a lot of milair frequencies listed. Here in my area it can be a lot 
of fun to listen in to air to air combat training and the like.  What 
about there? Also I have an HF rig . Icom IC R-75.. I imagine the 
monitoring would be a little different for me from that location.. .No 
more European/ Trans Atlantic air routes . More pacific flights. Who 
controls the air space over that region of the Pacific? I am guessing 
"San Francisco radio".. ? Here I hear "New york" "Shannon" and a few 
others on rare occasion .. Who would I hear there?

My current radios are
Icom IC R-75

Radio shack scanners are as follows
Pro-2006
Pro95
Pro97


My Pro97 will be my primary radio there as it is here.  With all that 
there is to monitor in  community of that size are the number of 
radio's I have enough? I would assume not. I was thinking of dedicating 
each radio for different purposes as I do here.   Milair and fed com 
from my  base station scanners.  Public safety and general monitoring 
for my portables. Any advise or suggestions in this regard would be 
appreciated.

Lastly are there any "scanner clubs" that meet in the Seattle area?  
THANKS Steve
