I enjoy your site alot and listen often. Sometimes less is better, i think if you could have a another channel with chicago and the surrounding collar counties like cook, dupage, lake, mchenry, will counties with just the fire departments and fireground channels. All the other stuff just gets in the way and alot of people just want the local stuff. I dont know what would be involved in doing that and just an idea.

Over the past 3 years we have covered many Chicago incidents. The archives can be found at http://www.justin.tv/radioman911/videos We use 10 radios in 5 locations to cover 30 counties. If I am around during a major event I do mute any non-related traffic. It just happens that the radios were unmanned during the 3 events that were posted.

Great website for listening to that stuff, but would be much better to have only 1 per recording. I know that is easier said than done and less resources to record a few at a time. Just be easier to listen to the events if that was the only thing going on. Keep up the good work.

you should do chicago more often with only the chicago audio not 3 scanners at once.
