district 9 (Springfield) simulcasting on starcom

[timmer]

I am hearing the mobiles only on TG 13004 in d-9, not the base. This is a simulcast of hf-2 (154.935). Frequency 867.325 tower 021E.

Just FYI, this was also being heard on the Normal & Peoria Simulcast towers. Heard the dispatch also when Lincoln 1 came up on the actual starcom radio for a radio check. Hope we can continue to hear them when it goes full time. That would rule to hear Dist. 9 full time being 80+ miles away.

Hope they get it going pretty soon. I have a feeling it will be a while yet. Also hearing TG 13034 Ispern I think. Some of it is broken and unreadable.

Is that "Lincoln 1" someone from the town of Lincoln, or is it just a designator for some ISP person?

I'm getting ispern broadcasts from all over the place tonight on starcom. Dis. 6, 11, and 10. All talkgroup 13034.

I believe Lincoln 1 is a Lincoln, IL Officer. Also i'm not getting the 13034 up here in Peoria so it must not be registering on the Peoria simulcast tower. Just receiving the 13004.

I'm hearing most mobiles on 13004, but a couple of units seem just on the fringe or just out of range from the tower. The units that are outside of Sangamon county seem to be broken and for the most part unreadable.

Lincoln 1 is ISP aircraft, not Lincoln, IL PD.

D-9 seems to not be simulcasting on starcom tonight. (Monday)
