   It is good to see someone share my quest.  I've been at this hobby for 
many many years and still spend a high percentage of my monitoring hours 
SEARCHing, not just SCANning.  The newcomers to our hobby seem to depend on website 
listings of freqs (always full of errors) and publications (often quickly 
outdated).  Recently one asked a question on an Email group: "What is the "Monitor" 
button for?"; so you know he never searches. 
   I don't mind sending some freqs along to nwbies who ask me for them, but I 
usually include an exhortation  to them to "Hit the SEARCH Button, too."
   Stay the quest.
