Default Which oil company is this?

152.975 Heard them now a couple years. They have mentioned delivering oil. Towns mentioned are Clinton, Fairfield, Albion & Skowhegan. The FCC database has a listing for Webber Oil Co. in Bangor but the call letters listed are weird and the entire listing makes no sense to me. I have never heard a morse id either. Thanks!

If theres any doubt about who you hear-do what I do. It may take time, but if you really want to know who it is, just devote 1 scanner to whom you are tuned in on. You have to listen closely. Sooner or later they will say something about a delivery in your area. When they say they are coming, dont rush, trucks go slow.If it is an address you know-ask the occupant. I recently tried getting an entity that is ltr. Boy, the fun I had sepparating them. Well, this 1 entity said they were all done at a certain pizza joint. I called that place asking who it was that I saw -and how good are they? Well, after a little white lie-I got the guy to tell me who was there. Remember-if you turn your back-they will chat. It all comes down to how badly do you want to know who it is. Course-down here in York County, I got Strafford County-Rockingham and York all getting my attention. When it comes to public safety-in N.H they call 10-4 10-5 in N.H terms. Thats a good clue for me-but you got 10-4 all day long.. Well, best of luck. Listen-and you will hear. May take some time,but how bad do you want to know whats what.

The 6.1 meter rule (90.119 b) means that control stations with an antenna less than 6.1 m (20') above ground can be located anywhere in the licensed area of operation (like a mobile station) and do not need the latitude/longitude coordinates listed for each control station the way base stations and repeaters do.

I saw some other Highband repeater freqs from there parent company. the mobile only might be a left over from the old days where mobiles had one license and base had another..things get forgotten and life goes on. Now being bought up by the other might see them sharing channels
