yup
Eastern Maine Electric Coop in Calais in Washington County has these radio channels licensed

(cross checked their FRN - this is the only radio license that matches this FRN - which might mean this is the only radio license for this organization)

lets list the info by radio site

Musquash Mountain near Topsfield - 47.82 R 250 ERP - 47.82 B 330 ERP - (48.54 is input to 47.82 R) - 451.975 FX2 - 451.275 FX2 - 451.20 FX2

Calais - 47.82 B - 452.2625 FX2

May Mtn near Island Falls in Aroostook County - 47.82 B - 456.975 FX2

9 Union St in Calais - maybe is HQ - 456.20 FX1 - 456.275 FX1 - 457.2625 FX1 - 48.54 FX1

Smyrna Mills in Aroostook County - 47.82 B - 456.975 FX2

-------------------

Guessing at the radio system design

451.20 and 456.20 tie the dispatch office to the 47.82 base on Musquash Mtn

452.2625 and 457.2625 tie the dispatch office to the 47.82 base in Calais

451.275 and 456.275 tie the dispatch office to the 47.82 repeater on Musquash Mtn

451.975 and 456.975 are used to tie Musquash Mtn to the two outlying base stations on 47.82 - maybe the mobiles in Smyrna Mills and May Mtn areas use different PLs - and the dispatch office can select various PLs on 451.975 to keep up either May Mtn or Smyrna Mills sequentially - ????

----------------

note - my definition of a FX1 is - a control station, activated by a human being, that transmits from 1 fixed location to another fixed location or to multiple other fixed locations - my definition / explanation of a FX2 is a automatic link station that automatically retransmits a radio signal from 1 fixed location to one or more other fixed locations
