*** UN-INFORMED BUZZWORD WARNING ****
Why is it that people who hate those of us who get a kick out of the
hobby of monitoring like to use prejudicial and hysterical words to
describe us? Last time I checked there was no such thing as 'electronic
voyurismm in the Calif. Penal Code.

I think you need a lesson on just how REAL crimes are comitted. I have
had a fair amount of Law Enforcement training and I know of only a very
few cases where monitoring equipment was ever used.

Jim, I used to work for a large department store... let me set you
straight about a few facts.
1) Most shoplifters were NEVER caught. The reason this was so was
because of the large number of them at any given time.
2) The only shoplifters that were caught were caught because they
were obviously doing something 'unusual'. It is generally obvious when
someone is messing around with an earpiece or diddling with the squelch
control under his coat. Also if you are working security you can always
walk by a suspect and key your mike.... (Vissions of proximity feedback
and a suspect quickly snatching the earpiece away.) [DO NOT DO THIS IF
YOU WORK SECURITY OR ELSEWHERE IN THE L.E. PROFESSION. HEARING DAMAGE
MAY OCCUR TO THE SUSPECT. actually dont do it wherever you work/play.]
3) The largest 'shrinkage' (denoting loss of inventory) was from
employee theft, not shoplifters. The employees didn't NEED to have
help from something like a freq. list as they know who security is and
generally the ins and outs of the security systems.
4) The professional or accomplished shoplifters were very rarely caught.
These people know exactly what they are doing and have no need of a
scanner. I will not reveal details, but there are very simple things
that you can do to keep from being spotted, or arrested.
5) The sheer number of shoplifters makes it totally impossible to catch
them all or even a good percentage of them. If one comes in with a
scanner he only makes himself more obvious. When watching for
shoplifters you begin to notice things. A young person with a 'hearing
aide' attached to his ear is generally out of place.
I enjoy the postings made by Mr. P. Keep em comming.

FOOTPRINTS
One night a man had a dream, and in his dream he reviewed
the footprints he had taken in his life. He looked and
noticed that all over the mountains and difficult places
that he had traveled there was one set of footprints, but
over the plains and down the hills, there were two sets of
footprints, as if someone had walked by his side.
He turned to Christ and said, "There is something I
don't understand. Why is it that down the hills and over
the smooth and easy places you have walked by my side; but,
here, over the tough and difficult places I have walked
alone, for I see in those areas there is just one set of
footprints."
Christ turned to the man and said, "It is that while
your life was easy I walked along your side; but here, where
the walking was hard and the paths were difficult, was the
time you needed Me most, and that is why I carried you."

Today (Sunday 12/3) at around 2230 GMT, a station signing S01MZ was at the
center of quite a pileup on 15 meters CW. I managed to get through the pileup,
so I'm quite curious what "S01" is.
Any information?
Thanks and 73 -
