Plane Spotters Group Website

I happened upon an interesting website tonight that's useful for airport scanning. It's called the Washington Baltimore Spotters Group. (Plane spotters are people who photograph airplanes, and sometimes collect aircraft registration numbers.) The website has PDF files with tips on locations for plane spotting at Reagan National, Dulles, and BWI. Good information if one likes to scan and watch planes at the same time.

Another Weekend Trip--Philadelphia

I took another overnight trip last weekend, this time to Philadelphia. Snagged quite a few new frequencies for the Philly page. (I still have to post my finds from the Phillies game, but almost all the other stuff I found is up.)
