Back then, a scanner was not on a priority list for me and getting one was hard.
I started my research on frequencies and met some of the people who still help me today. That’s when I started getting into scanners. Our frequency was only used for our department and could not hear Macoupin 911. We had pagers, radios, and even the old fire siren uptown to notify us of a Fire. When I was 18 years old I along with many other people were heavily involved in the first responders for a small community. The audio is streamed over the internet to where their servers allow for a large number of users to listen from anywhere in the world. This feed is provided by me (Isaac) from a scanner located north of Litchfield IL.
