 MARSCAN
This was the former Maritimes Scanning Site
established in 2000.  While I remain very interested
in radio communications in our region, I am
maintaining only a few specific pages on the site:

 Brief Guide to Listening to ships in Halifax Harbour

Extensive Guide to Listening to civil aircraft in the Halifax area and beyond. 

Note regarding public safety radio in Atlantic Canada: Almost all public safety communications in Atlantic Canada are on a single 700 MHz trunked radio system.   With rare exceptions all such communications are encrypted and are not "listenable" by the general public.  For a basic technical introduction to the system click here.

 My unusual interest in the British monarchy and nobility: See my omnibus article on such topics as the succession to the throne, as far back as 802 AD, levels of nobility and knightage, titles, and applicability in Canada.
