State of Maryland Issues Public Safety Bulletin naming RadioReference.com
It appears the State of Maryland fears crime is being facilitated by RadioReference.com's information in their databases. I sure would use care if you gave anyone your credit card info for subscription services who have bulletins like this.
In an effort to protect members of our community this must be made public.
Could this affect scanning in general?
Could this bring legal issues for those database administrator of the RR website?
I don't know, but in the interest of full disclosure it needs to be made known to the scanning community.

Some older frequencies are still shown in the table however just because they haven't been used in the past few seasons doesn't mean they won't come active. Still a good idea to scan them just incase they need to do some frequency changes at the last minute, its happened before.

During the first couple calls you can hear both sides of the comms, the ground xmitter is located just 1/2 mile south of me at the Ponce De Leon (PDL) Tracking Station. Here Is More Info On PDL. After the 2nd call you do not hear PDL because the groundside of comms are switched to another station, PDL usually is used only until "Go At Throttle Up" call is made. Its fitting, the last shuttle lunch had the most comms ever on this frequency! This is a VOX recording so you don't have long pauses between comms.

Don't trust that business with the 'A' rating, they didn't earn it, they bought it!
Check it out for yourself Click Here for the ABC 20/20 Story about the BBB's Shack Down Scam!
FACT: Companies can achieve an A+ rating ONLY IF they pay the BBB’s membership dues. These dues start at $425/year and go up to $10,000 for large companies.
FACT: If you do not pay BBB for membership you will receive a very low or F rating. Chef Wolfgang Puck's businesses receive Fs because he refuses to pay a fee. Ritz Carlton, which does not belong either, also receives Fs.
FACT: The BBB is a private company and not a government entity. The BBB is a business, and while it is organized as a non-profit, it does collect fees from the members who are included in its listings.
FACT: To prove the point, a group of Los Angeles business owners paid $425 to the Better Business Bureau and were able to obtain an A minus grade for a non-existent company called Hamas, named after the Middle Eastern terror group.
Please do not simply take our word on it, check out the actual ABC New 20/20 program which aired Nov. 2010. This will prove what many business owers have been saying for years that the BBB is nothing more than a Mofia protection racket, you don't pay, you get your name trashed in public.
Boycott all business who paid for their A Ratings!
