Thanks for this. I neglected to add these to my scanner.

CL&P freq's are 48.34 for the central CT area, 47.9 for the western part of the state, 37.36 for the east and 48.2 for the south, although I was having some interference issues with that last one. Always nice to be able to hear if they are in your area if the power goes out. Public works freq's are also useful to have for your area so you can hear what roads are particularly bad, or still need plowing. 45.86 is also a good frequency to have so you can hear town's using the CSP hotline to inform each other of MVA's, road hazards, etc...

CSPERN will be good to listen to open mics.

Lot of utilities in here, including all CL&P and UI frequencies for the state.

Tolland county dispatch "TN" will be using 33.80 for dispatch, 33.44 for main operations, and 33.78 for additional operations.

[rjk_165]

Might want to take a look at this, just launched it.

CT Incidents Zello

Also, I believe there are I-CALL and I-TAC frequencies, those might be good to monitor.

[Rt169Radio]

The 2 meter and 440 ham radio freqs would be good to take a listen too.

Good one! I hit L/O on CSPERN almost instinctively now. What a waste of good equipment.

Storms can be fun for monitoring. The repeated spin outs and guard rail violations, rollovers-no injuries and idiots out for a joy ride and inevitable higher insurance rates is phenomenal. Stay home, for God's sake.

Monitoring other agencies can be entertaining, only because we can.

Here is a simplified version of storm related transmissions;

CL&P:
War Room to 27. Are you fixing the electricity?

Roger, we have fixed the electricity and are fixing more electricity. We removed the tag and tied back and tagged the LL7 to 48NE786 - Isolated the ground to MDCT 449 and test reverse polarity Ortho Kilo. Bingo - Hotel Hut hut! Negative potential on the Zulu leg. Flopped neutrals and cleared the ground. Getting hungry, lonely and cold up here.

Received. Continue fixing the electricity. We will contact you if there is more electricity to fix.

Roger.

DOT:

HQ to District 2. How is the snow?

District 2 - We have lots of snow. Joey is out back with a ruler. We are plowing it.

Roger District 2 - Continue to apply material and remove the snow.

District 2 - Roger. Continue with plowing. We have all 632 trucks. Well - 631. Vinny called out sick. Denny's authorized?

Roger. We have the 631 with a few contractors with unconventional vehicles equipped with plows. Freddie Moore's Oil Truck looks funny with a plow but doing a great job. Roger on Denny's.

Static............Exit 72 .....wire rope and exit sign..Fung Wah bus on its roof.....

Roger - Plow the snow and we will use the land line to call State Police for the Fung Wah.

EMS:

EMS - One patient complaining of back pain and 7 refusals.

Dispatch - Roger - Will you be taking patient to a hospital?

EMS - Roger

Dispatch - Received. What hospital?

EMS - Stand by. I'll advise.

EMS - Make that 8 refusals.

Dispatch - Roger, clearing the call. All units available 03:45.

2 Meter:

Very fine, Bob. I'm at the light on RT 10. I have about 3 inches, You are 60% quieting here. How did the hip replacement go?

Question: If you are a "non-essential employee", should you be concerned about job security?

I burst out laughing. This was hilarious.

And always in need of Validation / Re-Validation / Confirmation of Tones, uses and locations. Any info will be appreciated

Here's one from long Time Ago, low band radio system...
State Police, trooper somewhere in Fairfield County area on I-95.
Car calling troop - There is a car hung up on the Guard Rail I need a wrecker...
About 10 minutes later... Car calls the troop back... Disregard the wrecker,
I jacked him off!!!!

Silence on the radios...

Now in the old old days when oldtimer was just a boy, CSP was on low band. Car/Troop transmit and receive were on two different frequencies. Hence the expression that remains to this day, "906G. Please contact 1025 3-way."

OK - I have one:
Citywide - 463.65 PL 118.8

The morning Weather Roundup on DOT was riveting;
Andover - 31 degrees - No Precip - Zero accumulation
Ansonia - 29 degrees - No Precip - Zero accumulation
Ashford - 30 degrees - No Precip - Zero accumulation
Avon - 27 degrees - No Precip - Zero accumulation
Barkhamsted - 23 degrees - No Precip - Zero accumulation
Beacon Falls - 27 degrees - No Precip - Zero accumulation
Berlin - 29 degrees - No Precip - Zero accumulation

According to Governor Malloy; "We're certainly ahh ah ah ahh ah ah preparing for the worst ah ah ah ah and ah ah hoping for the best"

Wonder who is going to deliver take-out to all of the EOC's tonight?

Have fun guys! (Cover up your batteries)
