[Scan-DC] Multiple Tornadoes, Collapse, general alarm Chas. Cty. MD19:15

Mon, 29 Apr 2002 04:27:48 -0400

I was at the tornado very early on.  What a mess.  A little late, but I a=
m trying to rebroadcast the fire/sheriff audio to the web for a while.  =20

http://beta.stationdirectory.com

or go to http://www.radiodestiny.com

Look under the broadcaster 3 stations for Charles County.

Let me know if it works.  I am off to bed now, it is 0430 in the morning.=
  If it works, I will leave it up tomorrow for a while.

     If in fact it is a repeater operation, it is an alligator...all mout=
h and
no ears due to the repeater input frequency sensitivity threshold set so =
high.
In my opinion, that is a self defeating purpose for a repeater operation.=
  A
repeater's coverage should be I/O balanced.  You just know probably one r=
esult
from this disaster....another big buck 800 mhz. trunked comm system.
