Accessible World presents Radio Waves, September 8, 2010

Dear Friends,

Scanners revisited is the topic for the September edition of Radio Waves.   We'll discuss some of the newer scanners on the market, ones which don't require programming, and are as a result somewhat more accessible.  We'll also talk about how to listen to scanner radio without a scanner!

Join us for Radio Waves on Wednesday, September 8, starting at 6 PM Pacific Time.

Jim Tedford: Group Facilitator
