Hi Garry! I saw this thread and your location, and thought I'd put in my two cents, seeing as how I'm not that far from you. By the way, you must get a hell of a signal from the Sumnerville tower!
From where I am in Buchanan, I can pick up (on a handheld with standard antenna) the St. Joseph (IN) Co. dispatch at 159.150, the Toll Road State Police dispatch at 155.415, South Bend dispatch (Ch.1) at 453.650, and some of the other repeater channels from SB (all on 453 Mhz band). I'm not much for the more obscure freqs, but that's mainly 'cause I'm new to scanning in the area, and usually stick to dispatch. I do work in SB, so I'm interested in checking out Mishawaka's 800 Mhz system, and Notre Dame's LTR system, among others. Obviously you need something with a big signal to pick up where you're at, but maybe you have some big antennae on top of the house!
Any interesting freqs from your neck of the woods, other than Cass Co. Police?
