Hi All..
A Nassau County Dispatcher gave me this website, and I'd like to give everyone in the area an open welcome to my scanner forums.
I, like many, are pretty upset to see that the forums on Fordyce.org have been closed.
Since my first days of scanning, I have always been looking for more info, and direction.
Luckily I had family that was big into radio, so I was able to get any info I needed at any time.
Two years later, in 1994, I got my ham ticket, which introduced a whole new world of radio. Shortly after that, my first “real” scanner -
A bearcat 200xlt, which I still use to this day, although replaced by 5 other scanner models.
And when I finally discovered the internet, there was Jim Fordyce’s website.
Mr. Fordyce left some huge shoes to fill. There is no sense in reinventing the wheel! -I am not trying to create something new here!
My site will not contain frequency links, but links to pages with that info (n2nov, nf2g, Fordyce, Radio Reference and to here...)
My site has a live feed to Nassau Firecom, which I know was a request by some on the Fordyce forums.
The live feed will be up and down for a while until I can figure out how to add a VOX feature to my shoutcast feed. No reason to uplink traffic if no one is listening.
If requests come in, I will entertain feeding Suffolk also!
Jim Fordyce’s site will be missed. I asked him if he would mind me picking up where he left off, if he would not be picking the forms back up again.
I also didn’t want to jump the gun, so to speak, so I waited a few weeks, to see if Mr. Fordyce would bring back my favorite spot on the web.
No site will ever be as great as the Fordyce.org website. There is just no way to compete with something that was so huge!
I am just looking to give back to the scanner community that has given me so much over the past decade plus.
Please stop by and check out my website. I added a chat box for real time answers, and even a “listen this now….” Type of info.
No site will survive with out users and messages, so please make yourself comfortable, and enjoy my site!!
My personal weather feed from my own weather station will be added as soon as I can get it on the roof.
Thanks again!!
