Unfortunately that list does not say what areas the repeaters are for.
there is some maps floating around that shows repeater locations and coverage areas.
I really hope that these do not go encrypted.
I doubt Highways will go to encryption, they have a huge network. To convert it to digital, then encrypt would cost a HUGE amount of money.
Unfortunately, if one is not licensed or have radio that will transmit on VHF, one can only hope a trucker does this.
For $50/yr, it's not expensive to get a license, and be able to legally transmit.
But with the relatively short distance, one has to be in the right spot at the right time.
Usually by the time you hear about an accident, it's already too late. In many areas of the province, bypassing the accident takes hours to accomplish. This is especially true on the TCH. In the winter, when there are fatalities, the highway usually gets shut down overnight. Best thing to do is just hunker down in a hotel until it is reopened.
Or if anyone knows of some very common frequency [other than LADD] that they have listened to from past experience driving through BC would be nice to see it posted here as a few have already.
The one I listed is commonly used on the Coq. 153.635MHz there are others, but it has been so long I can't remember many of them. Arrow Transfer was another, but I don't remember the frequency. I would also toss 140.730MHz in too, it's a commonly assigned simplex frequency in BC and Alberta. Like I said earlier, scan the whole VHF-Hi band when travelling, truckers can be almost anywhere.
