Searching, Monitoring, Reporting, & Analysis = Mail List Success!!! Re: [FedCom] RE: Frequency Verification

[Ken]

Well Arthur-Bryan..

It all starts with EACH of us on the list searching/monitoring federal 
frequencies; reporting our findings to the list; and this in turn will allow 
analysis.

I think it would be great if YOU would report what federal radio activity 
you are monitoring from your location (don't recall seeing any log 
postings).   It would be fantastic IF EVERYONE on the list would on at least 
a quarterly basis (every 3 months or so)  summarize what federal frequencies 
are active in their geographic monitoring area.  Perhaps just a simple 
reporting format (or whatever list members want to provide) :  Frequency 
order (modulation e.g. P25 or NFM), (Encrypted or Non-Encrypted) (CTCSS or 
DCS if known), potential agency using, & whether simplex, repeater, or 
repeater input, or trunked & additional remarks.

Of course if only opinions,  gripes, & requests for information are posted 
to the list than we really will never get a good idea nationwide of actual 
federal frequencies in use versus what's in the various frequency 
directories.
