I agree with WA2EYC (amazing...  I did't kill your call sign this time,
Ron...); I also was a SWL for many years before getting my ticket, and
as a matter of fact still am (that's why I got a Kenwood 430).  For
example, there has been worthy information on this net about
NASA/Shuttle frequencies, "confidential" lists, etc.  I even enjoy the
scanner exchanges!...  (I didn't know about some state's ham exceptions
from the mobile scanner blue laws).

You purists out there offended by the stink?  Want to start a new net on
SWL?  Fine by me, I'll be reading both of them... maybe you should also
start a CW-only net, a phone only net, a 160 net, etc. etc.  not to
mention a ham-flaming-net...

          P.S.  I still think you should get a license, Richard, maybe
even just a novice; not only you will find it is FUN, but also you
can add those impressive letter/digit groups at the end of your name...
