You will hear whatever traffic is heard by system radios on those sites, so if you are listening to the East Dubuque site and a radio affiliated with the Rockford PD talkgroups is affiliated to the E. Dubuque site then that traffic will be heard.

Since it is unlikely that Rockford traffic will actually be heard on the E. Dubuque site due to the distance involved you could try to hear the Rockford site directly, this would be difficult, but if you are on a hill with a directional antenna it might be possible.
