Caledon gone Sierra

[Nighthawk101]

Anyone know why Caledon has changed from "Delta" to "Sierra"?
They did this about 2-3 months ago.

They were originally Delta
Change to Sierra (for a week a few mths ago)
Moved back to Delta
Now Sierra again for the last 2 weeks or so.

Anyone know why?

Ouch, that was a harsh shot LOL.....low, but funny

Definitely low considering Nighthawk is a tow driver. One man's lack of a life is another man's profession...

I was unaware of that, if its his job he should definitly know these things lol. I retract my joy behind the comment since it wasnt really in good humor now that i know the whole story, lol

I just heard a call... Old School Road in Caledon, and the unit going was 5D-002.

It was Not a harsh shot at him, i was speaking of myself.. Plus a bit of humor? No one forced him into his profession, he chose it... Actually i thought about doing that as well (Towing) seeing i do enjoy scanning.. Why not make money at something enjoy doing?

Lighten up guys, stop taken life so seriously, your not going to come out of it alive anyways!

Hey, I hold no hard feelings. I thought it was a response. Everyone has an opinion.
But still,
Anyone know why? They still get dispatched from Orrilla, but are different Soft ID handle. HMMMMM
BTW - Towing is more then listening to a radio, and I chose my profession, and I love it.

And they are still sierra, I am sitting behind them right now.....

Interesting to note here... 1TAC05 is being used in Toronto for the OPP units that are at Caribana. It's multi-selected with the talkgroup for Caledon. I imagine it's because the Caledon channel is so dead, they figured they'd better give the dispatcher something to do

Actually, Caledon has been crazy since Friday. Caledon Dispatcher is doing Caledon and MTO as well as the usual 407 units. NOT CARRABANNA. If it is on TAC 5 it would be Whity. I am not positive, but I know Caledon Dispatch uses TAC 7 Patch usually. North of Hwy 9 uses TAC 6.

Don't qoute me but that is what I have noticed in the past.

Why would the Caledon dispatcher be doing 407 units? The 407 talkgroup is 1OPS38 which is Aurora. Why would TAC 7 and TAC 6 be used up there without a special event? That's what those talkgroups are for.

Trunk88 was reporting multiselects (not patches) between the Caledon talkgroup and 1TAC05. It wasn't showing any patches or anything with TAC 7 or TAC 6. I had heard a unit identify himself as being at Peter and Richmond looking to get a check on a male - that's right in the heart of the Entertainment District in Toronto.

I will gaurrentee that Caledon does 407 Units, as well as not Carabanna. I talked to Judy this afternoon, and she has nothing to do with the festival, and TAC 6 has been up since Friday. The ERT units from Caledon just returned this morning from a major investigation in New Tech.......

Caledon is now part of Central Region hence the new designator.

Thanks for the answer.... That's what I've been looking for.

Sorry, I still don't buy the thing that they aren't on the Caribana stuff.

Caribana was on 1TAC05. Here's a log from TRUNK88:

3:43:31 1OPS40 Caledon MSEL (MSEL#=121F) includes 1TAC05 (TG#=9440)

I heard numerous references to downtown Toronto (addresses, etc...) as well as reference to Toronto Police, and "the parade" numerous times on 1TAC05, so it was definately Caribana.

I'm hearing 5-Lima units on the 1OPS38 Aurora talkgroup still. 5-Lima = 407 units. Infact, I heard a call earlier tonight, 407 at Neyegawa (sp?) for a PD, and it was on 1OPS38. Perhaps they've moved the 407 detatchment from Aurora to Caledon, but they're still on the Aurora talkgroup.
