The volunteers do an excellent job, however they do not have any advanced training or skills as do the Metro Paramedics.

Moolooman, Due to your location, you are not going to be able to receive much without setting up an external antenna with your base station. Have a look at this URL which will allow you to monitor live ATC traffic from the internet. http://www.liveatc.net/feedindex.php?type=international-oc Helimedic

CJ,

Keep in mind that 6DS have plans to go digital in the not too distant future, so your 92 XLT might not be able to receive them.
