I hear them talking about using H Event 18, but I am not hearing that one, discussing lots of BONKS,maybe using 8Call90 (is this a 800mhz non repeated channel?) Also lots of talk about using high band radios as well. If its not repeated, I wont pick any of that up, even if I knew the frequency.

 

[BobW55]

Diffidently wish we knew what frequencies were being broadcast.

Does anyone know what they refered to as a COW seems MSP complained the fire was overloading a tower an wanted to request MDNR switch to high band, then Air5 request they bring in a cow. Later it was said radio service would be setting up a cow soon. Lots of traffic Event 18 tg1027

Definitely sounds like the SOW, and they are definitely calling it a COW. Supposed to enable some 8TAC9x channels (local repeated) but it sounds like they are having coverage issues.
I am not hearing any of the event channels off the waters site...

SOW is mobile MPSCS site.COW is a mobile 8TAC Repeater.
