Welcome to Strong Signals!
Welcome to the Internet's largest and most active web site devoted to the hobby
of radio monitoring! To the layman it would probably be better known as
'scanning' but around here we have much broader horizons.
While scanning is usually thought of in terms of a 'police scanner', such
radios can be used to listen to a LOT more than police - like firefighters,
commercial and military aircraft, railroad, federal and local governments,
weather, newspapers, TV crews, marine, satellites,
power/water/cable/TV/telephone workers, sports teams, race cars and so much
more! There are also many radios available which can be used to listen to
signals from around the globe on the shortwave bands.
Please keep in mind that this is a hobby for me. I do all the work on the
Strong Signals site in my free time. I do not sell radios or any other type of
radio equipment or accessories so please don't write asking for quotes on
equipment or ask if I'll carry your product!
