Who makes the best videos? I can only think of Green Frog Productions and Pentrex at the moment. Are there other's I'm missing? Trying to compile a list of Videos for Christmas I'd like!

Permit for use of shortwave radio scanners in our cars
Are these permits from the Michigan State Police still valid or not? I thought I heard that they did away with these and repealed the law banning people from carrying radio scanners in their cars? Is this all true?

Anyone know the status of the last semaphores in Michigan? I know the one in MQT's Manistee Yard is gone now. What about the others, like in Saginaw, Kalamazoo? Any other places?
