1. Try to find all of your local government channels, including Fire, Police, Sheriff (if you have one), and even Forestry officials (so you can listen for forest fires in your area). Is there a particular band of the spectrum in which they tend to cluster?
2. See if there are digital speech channels within range of reception that are not affiliated with a government agency. Anything interesting? Pretend you’re a private investigator; see what you can find out about any channels you come across.
