[Scan-DC] Suggestions for one (or a few) interesting freqs for long-term monitoring?

[Andrew Clegg]

I have a weekend place out in Shenandoah County (about 20 miles southwest of 
Front Royal), where I am only able to visit every other weekend or so. In 
between visits, I can leave my scanner and voice-activated recording 
software (ScanRec on a PC) running full time. Given this scenario, what are 
some suggestions for frequencies to monitor? I don't want to record anything 
like the local PD or fire, because over two or three weeks, there will be 
hours and hours of activity that I won't have time to listen to, and most of 
that traffic would be fairly routine anyway.

Over time, I have tried various frequencies including the aviation guard 
channel 121.5 MHz (a fair amount of activity, almost all of it routine); the 
general aviation UHF air-to-ground telephone channels (some activity, very 
occassionally interesting, but usually just rental car and catering 
arrangements); med channels (sometimes interesting); and the ISS downlink 
frequency (never captured a peep).

Can anyone suggest some other interesting frequencies that I could hear out 
in the country, that might not be very active, but likely to be interesting 
when it is? How about medical helicopter freqs? Aviation "company" freqs? 
Military air freqs? I can either monitor one channel full time, or scan 
through several channels, but the goal is to capture over two or three weeks 
enough activity to be interesting, but not so much as to be overwhelming to 
catch up on. I am able to tune any VHF/UHF freq (up to 3 GHz), but my 
discone antenna performance degrades above 1 GHz or so.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Andy
