Plus historical police scanner recordings from Dallas, Watts, Columbine, Aurora, Newtown, and Big Bear as well as government mayday calls and the glorious shortwave sonics of over the horizon radar, free-banding, and frequency jamming.

Fun fact: the first LAPD radio dispatch system broadcast as KGPL 1730 AM from the tower on Radio Hill overlooking the KCHUNG studio.
