[FedCom] Monitoring

[Signal500 at aol.com]

Gentleman,

I have been monitoring FedCom since the early 80's here in southern Missouri. 
 There will be weeks where I do not hear anything on the hundreds of federal 
frequencies I scan and then all of the sudden one or two frequencies will 
become active.  When that happens, I search between 162-174 and 406-420 Mhz and 
have found many new frequencies.  Many surveillance's start on repeaters and 
move to simplex.   I found simplex comms on 165.975, 162.925, 165.925, 165.0375, 
165.375, 165.2375, 165.2875, 418.050, 418.750 during band search.  Also, I 
have heard many "just traveling through" interstate surveillance's on many 
frequencies [163.625, 163.675, 151.160, 155.475] that are not local.  That is what 
makes this hobby so much fun, you never know when a frequency is going to 
become active.
