I've been hearing traffic on MCSO OP/1, sounds like some kind of security or event staff at Hamvention. anyone know? They don't sound like Deputys though. Does the County let security agencies use OP or SE channels for events?

You need to be specific. Ohio has 12 counties that start with "M":

49. Madison
50. Mahoning
51. Marion
52. Medina
53. Meigs
54. Mercer
55. Miami
56. Monroe
57. Montgomery
58. Morgan
59. Morrow
60. Muskingum

Since you are talking about hamfest, I would assume you are talking about Montgomery County (57) since Dayton is there.
