310 - Riding and Scanning Amtrak's Zephyr with Garrett Farwell

Garrett Farwell returns to the podcast this week to talk about his recent trip from California to Colorado aboard Amtrak’s California Zephyr. How does a “Scannerd” occupy their time while on a multi-day and multi-state land cruise?   With their portable scanner of course! Garrett shares how he prepared for his trip using online resources to find frequencies he might be interested in monitoring on his journey and how one last minute surprise really helped him get his trip off on the right “track”. I always look forward to having Garrett on the podcast and would like to thank him again for sharing what he has learned on this trip with the “Scannerd” community. ==================================== 🛒  Check out our new Merch! ==================================== Squelchy opened his own store selling Scanner School merchandise!
