Couple of interesting ones today- - 35.060 91.5 Mentions of a "CarMax" and "Wellington Business Park" - Thinking this might be Florida WQKV809, CORAL SPRINGS. 27 miles south of Wellington, FL. Anyone hear this one before?

On 35.9200 D156 "776 to Bill" lapsed licence KNCT776 listed here = C W MCNAUGHT, Nashport, OH - a plumbers outfit. Again, anyone hear this one before?

35.720 136.5 had school buses - message sounded like "Hampton bay is route 1 for the elementary" PA?

Any help or suggestions appreciated.
35.72 136.5 AJ Meyers & Sons, Harmony, PA school busses?

50 mhz is open to the US as I type from here - just ft8 signals. Not seeing much utility signals above say 37 mhz but one absolute doozy a little earlier
43.880 146.2 "for Steel Dynamics, going over there to Butler you have to ask for Mitch"
Looks like Klink Trucking in nearby Ashley, Indiana.

That 31.6 - if you have it recorded post one of the grid references. I've heard a lot of training traffic out of Gagetown, New Brunswick in recent times. Distance should be possible for you.

Suffolk County, New York
RS Pro-2055, RG-6 and extended double zepp


I was listening only because my eyes were closed so I don't have the frequencies. The day started off early with CHP coming in and going out but around 3pm Suffolk county decided to locate my antenna. Fire-alarm is heard first, not sure about that one, not enough info. Suffolk is barely heard saying operate on UHF. A dispatch for Deer Park at east 4th st. 15:08. Next is a fuel spill on the Long Island expressway east of the 'Sags' (Sagtikos State Parkway) 15:09. Cutchogue took me about an hour to translate into the southern dialect. Cutchogue fire dept respond to MVA at Rt. 25 and Manor hill lane, 15:25. Rocky Point fire dept. gets a dispatch at 15:54. Fire-alarm again at 16:17. Holbrook fire dept. dispatch to Coats between Eugene st and Levy ave. Last up is Greenport dispatched to Peconic landing on Brecknock rd. Fire-alarm ends the recording.

11/28 Suffolk County

After listening to some recordings: 37.940 - 141.3 tone is KVR745 (CASSADAGA VALLEY CENTRAL SCHOOL SYSTEM) in upstate NY.
talking about Sinclairville Elementary - school bus traffic
dispatch signs off as "345 clear"
That of course should read "745 clear"

Hey Angelo, the busy New England states (on 33 mhz) are probably just a bit close to you for F skip. You'll hear them in the summer via Sporadic E though. Skip length also varies with frequency- down on 26 and 27 mhz I bet you can hear New England on decent days.
