Listening Times:

Sunday afternoons and evenings seem to have the highest amount of communications traffic of any day.
Recent outages:
01-Mar-2025 - One day outage while I rebuilt the Raspberry Pi OS
Change log:
02-Mar-2025 - I rebuilt the Raspberry Pi to use the current custom Raspbian build. No problems with the old build except the version of Raspbian was reaching end of life support
01-Oct-2025 - After just a few days using the Uniden BC60XLT-1 instead of the Electra Bearcat III scanner, it became painfully obvious that the BC60XLT-1 is performing much better than the Bearcat III ever did. I suspect that the Bearcat III is out of alignment after the capacitor replacement that I did on it a few years ago. That on top of the 60 cycle hum that the Bearcat has always had since I first received it as a Christmas present some time around 1975 has led to my decision to retire it from this duty. Of course, I will keep it as my first serious radio that I ever owned. So, as of 01-Oct-2025, the change to the Uniden BC60XLT-1 is permanent.
28-Sep-2025 - The original Electra Bearcat III scanner has been temporarily replaced with a Uniden BC60XLT-1 as of 28-Sep-2025 tuned to the same five channels plus one additional. This is a trial to see how the BC60XLT-1 performs over time. Added frequency 161.370 MHz which I believe is a frequency used by Amtrak (unconfirmed).
28-Jan-2022 - Replaced the stock Bearcat III antenna with a Tram 1487 VHF Land Mobile Base Antenna on 28-Jan-2022
