And A Scanner Antenna...

This is down the block from me - at first I thought it was a boom for a TV antenna. So I walked over and had a better look - it's actually a scanner antenna. I have to wonder how into listening to the city trucks you have to be, as the cops, fire and ambulance are all scrambled. Unless this has been up for many many years from the days you could listen to the cops, I don't see the point at all. But you can hear some cordless phones and baby monitors in the aria I guess... I don't know...
