Geeky Radio moments - was RE: WKLB announcements

[Lou]

Ok.  This is becoming a cool thread...
My geekiest radio recording moment:  I happened to catch Mark Parenteau with
the WBCN van doing a live remote at a local beach.  I rushed home and tuned
my police scanner to their remote frequency, somewhere around 470 MHz.  Then
I tuned in to BCN on my radio.  I recorded the scanner into one stereo
channel while recording BCN in the other channel.  Parenteau was wild, and
somewhat revealing in his behind-the-mike candor.

I actually had a DX tape from a listener in Norway who had one antenna
orientation to one receiver on the left stereo channel and another antenna
orientation, favoring WESX, on another receiver on the right stereo
channel...was cool to swing back and forth.

solution: 2 receivers FM Mono, 2 inputs L&R, 2 frequencies = an aircheck for
posterity...
