Great to see other people running BOINC. We were really active with S&H when they first started prior to them switching over to the BOINC platform, but have since switched over to WCG projects primarily due to them being medical in nature.

Just curious to find out if there is any other world community grid users on the forum. Basically WCG is a program that will run on your computer and do research such as finding cures for Muscular Dystrophy, cancer, aids, etc. If you are interested in contributing, you can get their software...

Have a look here to see if your area is online: http://www.scanamerica.us/index.php Or here: http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/search_results.jsp?searchCrit=simple&s=scanner Or here: http://www.scannerfeeds.us/ Chances are if it's not listed in in the above it's probably not...

Hi, everyone. I thought I would let you know about a new way to listen to how they do things down under. You can hear a new audio feed from the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. On this feed you'll hear a bit of everything from fire crews to beach patrol hunting for sharks near the...

Radio Reference is a great place to take a look at the radio system that you want to listen to so you will know what type of scanner to get. For instance, here in Edmonton any scanner that can track an EDACS system will do fine. However in Calgary you will need a radio like the Radio Shack...

Yes please. As long as it isn't too much trouble I would really appreciate you passing it along.

Hi, Bosco. PM sent. This is the first EMS related site that I have seen. There are quite a few for firefighters but until today I haven't seen one dedicated to the men and women that we rely on when things go wrong and we end up in dire straits. I must say that you guys are an amazing...

Hi, everyone. I was told to come over and check out the thread and thought I would chime in. Yes, you'll hear EMS more often than you will hear the FD on this feed. Currently we have FD Dispatch, the various working channels, fire info. For EMS we have dispatch, phone patch to hospitals...
