I just wondered out of curiosity, I mean, you would more or less have to be
able to understand Turkish fluently to make any sense out of anything you
picked up on the scanner.
I'm not sure about the laws though, didn't a group of plane spotters get
arrested over that part of the world a while back.

lol, could be, although myself, after what happened in Greece or wherever it
was, I wouldn't risk it, even if they just confiscated the scanner, that
would be bad enough. Some of these countries are not so easy-going about
ordinary people listening in on radio comms, even if it is only civ-air.

Take a short-wave (& LW/MW/FM) broadcast radio, there wont be any
question that it covers other frequencies.

I should think that taking a scanner to Turkey is about as wise as putting
your fingers in the light socket, whilst taking a shower.

Interesting - I wonder how easy it would be to get a list of the
movements of SX-BMP (Greek Alexandair MD-82) between 04/09/2005 and
31/09/2005...

yes you even get that service free in certain 4th World Prisons.

the fact is all aircraft details are available legally,so if the asshole
greeks dont want people planne spotting then simple shut there tin pot
airfoce down

same week they arrested plane spooters and said they did not know what ones
arre,even though there are greek plane spooters as there are in every
country no doubt the Greeks had a piece wrtiten about a new spy plane in a
hobbyist magazine with photos/interviews and so on,so saying they did not
know waht plane spooters were is crap

not only that often HAF turn up at european airshows and we pay for there
food and board at fairfod when they come,so they know damn well what a
spotter is
they are just greek assholes,if a country does not allow scanning takwe it
any way

dont let some tin pot country tell you waht to do,scanners do no harm,nor
does plane spotting

only other advice is do as i do dont bother with travelling abroad,stay in
UK we have best holidays in the world in thyis countyt

some poor sods go to USA and get hurricanes thrown at them,i would not help
any of those twits who went to hurricaine areas in hurricaine season.

it same time,same place everry year

dont follow silly laws silly laws are thwere to be broken ,only laws any
country needs is to protect lives of people scanning andb spotting harms
neither.

as said the airfame information is publicly available so greeks have no
right to stop such info.

You speak Turkish?

(About all you'll hear on the marine channels is fishermen moaning about
the price of fish, and Sunsail flotillas getting lost.)

Think that was Greece?

That was in GREASE where the GRIKS are all a paranoid little bunch of
frequently bitchslapped ****wits with stumpy little legs and big fat
egos

*LOL*

You'll find the Turks are big & hard enough not to be scared of some
nerdy foreigners with notepads and pencils

I always thought Chriac was a bit nerdy.
