scanning

[scrawn80]

what happen to the days of going out and tracking down freqs. the acma database is easy to look up but the info is not all correct it is to be used as a guide
i remember the days of going out and sitting down outside or just down the road for a place i wanted to get a freq. from. ones in the city were the hardest to get. then there were nights sitting on crackers and cootha just doing band searches they were fun days

So true, so true.

Crackers = Mt. Gravatt right?

Hey should all go up to the lookout up there and take every bloody radio we've got

Have a HUGE as session scanning freqs and showing off our fancy equipment.

Why? We would all get the same freqs then. Better if it was in different places.

[youngn]

[rochedalescan]

No way, im keen sounds good, just gota get a way of getting up there will be all sweet in a couple of months when I get my P's.

This time i would luv to stay up till after dark to see the lights of brisbane city.

But yes would be great.

yes crackers is mt gravatt for the cb radio days
i use to spend everyweek up there and some week nights
parties bonfires and drinking
just running amuck
i miss that bloody internet killed that
crackers is abit hard sometimes doing band searches because of
harmonics from the repeater site

Just sounded like the place I knew of, I thought he might have mixed it up, No worries !

[scrawn80]

its cool
im sure its still there
nice place to sit with a fold out chair it would be
its coming back to me slowly
the same drive way led to another water tower and a house to the west of the first one
i think or that may have been another down there
