MONITORING
I started being aware of radio at a local fair in a park where a Jamboree On The Air station had been set up. It was 1969 or 1970. I found the old boy with his valve "twin set" and a G5RV type antenna strung up in the trees fascinating. From that humble station he was working other stations within a couple of hundred miles with ease.
Our local police had just begun trialing small hand-held radios as well as the large, trunk mounted valve radios in their vehicles. With a little care I learned it was possible to hear the base station dispatching the cars and officers.
I was hooked to the world of radio, ham radio and utility monitoring.
My present interests lie with military land, sea and air monitoring. This blog will attempt to bring together many sources of information that exist both on paper (!) and on line. The object is to assist the newly interested listener in finding interesting things to listen to in the greater Denver area.
The frequencies and talk groups listed will be either ones that I have been able to verify or ones that have been passed to me from other sources. The idea is not just to copy and paste the pages of Radioreference.
