I didn't see anything immediately in the link the guy below sent.
The first link is an email address, different from the one he used.
If I have a lot of time to kill while waiting for my departing train on
Saturday afternoon, the 21st, I'll do some hunting.
I assume you know they are repeaters?
We'll still probably leave here by car Thursday morning early, and may not
check my email until Sunday, maybe on the train to DC.
Watching the weather. We might leave this afternoon, but not likely as I
have a doctor's appt and am not packed yet!

for Christmas
Thanks for sending, Alan. The author is my Mom. My older brother Bill is the
one who got me into scanning when we were both teenagers in the 70s. Good
memories. I helped his wife pick out a Home Patrol II for his Christmas
present this year.

ago but unlike the layout of the little ranch we lived in when his father
was his age, this particular bathroom is one story up and the equivalent of
half a block away. I'm not even sure of the shortest route to get there.

extinguish a fire, rescue someone or get a cat out of a 35-foot pine tree.

now-broken long-shower record. In those days scanners were the size of 1940s
table radios and produced mainly static. Nobody hated ours more than I did,
except maybe my parents. Said son was given strict orders not to turn it on
when they came to visit. Like most teens, he found a loophole in that set of
orders.

don't turn the scanner on when Nana and Bopbop get here. We should have been
more explicit.

> When we got home we found my parents sitting on the living room sofa with
their arms crossed, jaws set and daggers shooting from their eyes. Ten feet
away, three scanners sat on the dining room table spewing out bongs, voices
and static. Bill walked across the room and disconnected all three.

"who pulled the plugs" from a gang of teens charging out of the family room.

and we had released our son from solitary confinement, we asked why in the
world he had done what we asked him not to.

were here and I didn't. Jim, Mike and Tim brought theirs over. We had them

FYI
*This is an important message from the District of Columbia AlertDC system.*
The North American Aerospace Defense Command and its geographical
component, the Continental United States NORAD Region, will conduct
exercise Falcon Virgo 17-04 Tuesday night into Wednesday morning in the
National Capital Region, Washington, D.C., with flights scheduled to take
place between approximately midnight and 2:30 a.m. (EST).
In the event of inclement weather, the exercise will take place the
following morning. If bad weather continues, officials will then make a
decision to postpone or cancel the exercise.
The exercise is comprised of a series of training flights held in
coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Capital
Region Coordination Center, the Joint Air Defense Operations Center, and
the Eastern Air Defense Sector.
Exercise Falcon Virgo is designed to hone NORAD?s intercept and
identification operations as well as operationally test the NCR Visual
Warning System and training personnel at the JADOC. U.S. Air Force F-16 and
C-21 aircraft, Civil Air Patrol C-182 aircraft, and a U.S. Coast Guard
MH-65 Dolphin helicopter will participate in the exercise.
These exercises are carefully planned and closely controlled to ensure
CONR?s rapid response capability. NORAD has conducted exercise flights of
this nature throughout the U.S. and Canada since the start of Operation
Noble Eagle, the command?s response to the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11,
2001.
As the continental United States geographical component of the bi-national
command NORAD, CONR provides airspace surveillance and control, and directs
air sovereignty activities for the CONUS region. CONR and its assigned Air
Force and Army assets throughout the country ensure air safety and security
against potential air threats.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, CONR fighters have responded to more than 5,000
possible air threats in the United States and have flown approximately
68,000 sorties with the support of Airborne Warning and Control System and
air-to-air-refueling aircraft.

sworn in and lead the nation. Secretary of Defense Ash B. Carter has
authorized 820 service members from all branches of the military to be
assigned to the JTF-NCR and more than 5,000 services members to provide
