happy new year

I cant believe I have not done an update here for nearly 12 months. its been a long year. I moved from Newcastle city
to the lake, Garry has had a near death illness and damn it the police went digital! So we have entered the new age of digital
scanners and well its a boost to the hobby in my opinion. the website is well rounded now and formed well, updates are done
as needed and the scanner chronicles and pics have slowed as a result of lack of interest. BUT we have met, emailed, taken
calls from many new and old scanner listeners and well its the best feeling to be acknowledged for your efforts especially
if you dont get paid for the work. lets grow again and hopefully do an update here sooner than later! and hope someone brings
out a digital scanner to purchase locally, instead of have to have them imported.

Well the popularity of newcastle scan has impressed garry and myself and this month we enter a new era. we are expanding
and fine tuning with the addition of our exclusive domain and carving the scanning chronicles to thier own site.
we are looking forward to a busy summer and plan to provide more frequencys, scanner reviews, recordings, pictures
and stories and maybe some video too... so thanks for your support since the 2001 and keep coming back to what we hope will
be the biggest scanner web site in australia
4/2002 Updated Intro.
When i started this site i had a desire to make it a comprehensive resource as there are to many "secret clubs, keeping
those freqencys hidden unless you join their club, but the freqs are out there and not long after i started the site an old
friend who has written scanner guides loved the idea and freely gave all his work and together now we bring NEWCASTLESCAN
this is a jointly owned site of Garry Luxton and myself Mike Pugh (see photos down below). We have tried to make
the site into a huge Ezine that you would happily buy! and for free, we have been trying to record interesting events, get
photos of incidents and provide you with things you can talk about! go thru every page, download as much as you want.
We will continue to provide different and interesting things as time permits and hope you will support us and tell your friends
about us!
Original Intro Jan/02
As a resident of one of the states most busy radio activity capitals I thought it was time for a new scanner web site
focusing on Newcastle. I have been involved in scanning for several years and have collected a lot of data and i now will
focus on computer controlled scanning in particular with the Uniden UBC780xlt. I have a lot to do yet and id love some photos
to put up, some articles about your favorite area of interest, the freqs you receive and your general location. I should have
software reviews and weblinks and i hope to place a frequency plan for the 780XLT
using andys program in excel format.
I want a simple site and it still to be informative.
