Massachusetts DPW Snow posts

[KB1UAM]

We should keep an ear on the DPWs tomorrow. Post all your updates and findings here if you'd like.
New Bedford Department of Public Infrastructure is responsible for plowing city Streets. They operate on the New Bedford City DMR system. They operate on TG 3. Facilities and Fleet Management operate on TG 4. EMA is on TG 1. Facilities and Fleet management are responsible for city owned Parking lots and city buildings. EMA assists in plowing the Fire Stations. Most all the DPWs in Southeastern Mass haven't changed frequencies. So most are the same down here. Maybe your areas have switched to DMR

I don't live in the area but am getting lots of activity on the broadcastify calls platfrom. Listening to MassDOT TG 32240, RIDOT TG 176, and the ConnDOT districts.

I was just listening locally. Lots of madness in Foxboro with the Patriots playing this afternoon (thank God it's over). It was good listening.

I can confirm Attleboro, Mansfield, Sharon, North Attleboro DPWs are still on analog as described in the database. Stoughton is DMR, heard them a lot.

Heard lots of activity on Wakefield's DMR channel, other DPW channels around me were active as well. Was able to listen in on the Logan site (Site 35) to try and hear runway clearing ops, my reception on site 35 isn't great so I am sure I missed a bunch, but it seemed like there was traffic on OPS 1, OPS 2 (both OPS channel's seemed to be used to talk between the supervisor on the runways and Massport operations in the tower for which runways/taxiways were clear not FAA controllers) , Construction (sounded like plow to plow talkaround), TG257 was inactive (I assume either all trucks had airband radios or the lead truck would coordinate runway crossings. My findings are based off of about 45 minutes of trying to monitor site 35. Those who have better reception of those talk groups may have better info on which talk groups were used for what. TG 383 (AERO a plowing company who I think is contracted by Massport for an amount of plowing) on the ICE DMR Trunk was silent whenever I was monitoring.
