That Base Camp is at the foot of Mt. Everest, I think.
it's just a base camp picture from the Internet - but the prettiest we could find  What is a 'scanner nut'? I found a Grumman F8F Bearcat for you. Remember I saw one in Kalamazoo. |

A scanner scans police, air, railroad etc frequencies to listen to the conversations. Pretty good hobby. Just realized your location. Pretty sure folks use scanners in Europe. Lived in Germany in the early 90's for 4 yrs. Beautiful country. Didn't see much on the north side.
----------------------------------------Thanks for the photo. Are you from Michigan or just visited?
Crunching for humanity since 2007!

Just visited. I lived in Rhode Island for six years,
and remember now that one neighbour scanned that way. I don't know if we can in Denmark where I live. Would think those channels are scrambled. Germany is prettiest to the south where you have the Black Forest and Bavaria, but then again: You can always find nice places all over. |

I worked in Southern Germany on the US bases on and off in 1970/71.
I also visited Norway and Denmark in (I think) 1974, when I was on a 14 day cruise to the North Cape. |

Good Morning Fellow Crunchers!
---------------------------------------- Geography class is open  I'm pleased to see many new names posting here - most don't have a location to their name, tho Would you, please, tell me - and other geographiles - where you are from? Geography matters!  You can edit your "My Forum Profile" fast and easily: - grayest bar ^^^^ up there - second item from the right - and fill in "Country". BTW - not to invite trouble, but I have listed my e-mail for months without any problems whatsoever. It could be an all right alternative to the PM facility we do not have, and probably shall not get. Please give this a thought this Sunday when you have lots of time on your hands!

Maybe I put up the announcement ^^^^^ up there
of the open Geograhy Class at a wrong time I've Got the World on a String - because it cannot be that you don't care about geography the way I do, can it?  |

From "just around the corner" (relative to the little mermaid) since I live in Schleswig-Holstein. And of course I have been to Denmark lots of times. And nearly everywhere in Denmark, too
----------------------------------------God aften til dig! (hope I remembered this correctly...)  |

God aften til dig, marvey11
 - I like that "just around the corner", and you remembered it perfectly. This winter I'm brushing up on my German - it needs the brushing up badly Schlewig-Holstein is sort of a mixed area where sometimes the king was Danish and sometimes der Kaiser was German. Nice to meet you, marvey11, neighbour. If you hadn't mentioned your country, I would have thought you were English/American - something anglo .... You know perfect English, so that wouldn't give you away. I hope you have liked visiting Denmark as I like visiting Germany. I was there just last late August when the heather bloomed in Lüneburger Heide. It was something I wanted to see for a long time - especially the Bergen-Belsen area where the graves were covered with the purple flowers. I once visited in May and I promised myself to return when the heather was in bloom. Where do you like to go when you visit Denmark? Do you have family or friends here? |
