HAM Radio Discussion

[kawiracer14]

Quick question - I have a scanner at home that I usually listen to local PD and Fire on but it can scan HAM frequencies. Are there a few frequencies around here that are popular? I put one or two in from the ReaterBook app but only heard Morse Code on one at lunch.

That is probably the repeater identifying itself.

I have this one dialled in all the time: http://www.repeaterbook.com/repeater....54rsb6Jh.dpbs
There is activity on it in the morning and in the evening for some folks commuting to and from work. If I am in the car I am always listening to this, while scanning the memory on my mobile on the other receiver.
