So..turned on the scanner

Mostly the folks that usually do, are well...taking it easy.

Sadly it sounds like a busy Christmas Eve...as in very busy, as in chasing the radio...not that I am surprised.

Christmas was either a quiet night or we chased the radio all night, no middle ground.

Think of those who tonight, all over the world, not just the country, are chasing that radio.

Best I had was in the 80's on CB when I lived by the intersection of a couple of major Interstates in a large apt. complex, there were several of them. There were CB radios then all over the place ... and I swear, some of the people out there were certifiably insane. Some of the stuff was really really freaky.

PS: I just noticed the radioreference.com link, I'll give that a try!

Just tried it, works great! Lots of drunk drivers driving around. Also concern about some shotgun blasts, also some guy running around in a black hood someplace and several domestic arguments going on ...
