While setting up V-files for Alleghany County & area, I noticed a LOT of new freqs for this county and the city of Covington.
It looks like fire depts and rescue squads are sprouting some 800 MHz simplex freqs, and the county is also adding some UHF repeaters. License type is YE.
In at least one case, a new freq 855.6625 is being given by Nextel in exchange for 860.7375, as part of rebanding. (they had to notify the folks at Green Bank)
Anybody been up that way lately? Looks like there's lots of stuff to check out--at least on the books.
Also, the county was granted an FCC extension on construction of its 800 fire/rescue system as of March 28. They now appear to have until July.
