Open-source intelligence – Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
I’ve been developing OSINT sources so that I have ready information. When the Summer of Love© was in full effect I was able to quickly get information for regional events. I’ve worked on expanding that reach. Let’s see if this works:
OSINT definition
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_intelligence
Live audio
https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/ A good selection of broadcast and public service radio. I’ve used this one during breaking news events http://www.websdr.org/ WebSDR. People were using it to monitor the early Ukraine invasion. https://www.liveatc.net/ ATC live audio
Aircraft tracking. If something interesting is going on locally I look for the news station and sheriff’s helicopters

Placeholder: during the summer of love I found the news stations typically stream video from their helicopters when they’re transiting to and from an event.
