What have you heard, and why did you listen?

That "doors are open" thing has been going on for months in the Woodbury area, super annoying!@#$#@

Recently I've been hearing SPPD being retransmitted on CH. 2 simplex sporadically.  Haven't DF'd it, but definitely near my location as full scale on the S meter when out mobile near my house.

At the moment, I'm listening to someone apparently calling Bingo numbers on FRS/GMRS 19. I have no idea why you'd need a radio to do that. I also can't guess where it's coming from because I live in a very residential part of town. Radio waves do strange things; they could be quite some distance away and conditions just happen to be right today.

Haven't heard that yet, I'm near Roseville,  I hear scrambled comms on CH. 2

The other day a contractor was doing road work near me on a mountain road. They had the traffic down to one lane with guys holding signs at each end of the construction zone. I scanned GMRS while sitting and waiting, finding the flaggers on GMRS 16. The two men couldn't see each other or the work area and were MFing the foreman up one side and down the other. I scanned for the tone. When one flagger told the other that the last car in line was a red Honda I waited and noticed the last car was a Hyundai not a Honda. In a short break in their diatribe about the lead man I told them "The last car is a Hyundai, not  Honda". Total nervous silence. As I passed the sign guy I gave him a wave with my handheld. He smiled and told the other guy what was going on.

driving south on Hwy 14 passing Jawbone canyon yesterday afternoon, i heard a woman talking to a dude, (presumably the guys wife or girlfriend) saying she didn't forget the beer

Today i was in an area known as Eagle Mountain near Joshua Tree and heard a lady calling out to her dog, over the radio, who was helping them find the radio that they had lost in the desert.. apparently the dog could hear her calling him over the radio and led them to it, but it took about an hour.. and we got to listen to the entire show.

Gotta wonder how many times you have to lose your radio to train a dog to find it.

That’s actually kind of clever, but annoying to everyone else, for possibly a $12 radio.

That's kinda clever, actually.

As many consider their pets as part of their immediate family, couldn't the dog grab the radio in his paws and key up and give out some arf's?  Be a fun exercise for the Kraken Sdr?
