Muskingum County MARCS Reception Issues

[steve_barr]

Hello, I am scanning the Muskingum County MARCS system (Fire/EMS/Police talk groups), specifically the Dresden tower and have recently noticed no radio traffic. Reception of all VHF operations seem to be fine but no or very spotty reception of MARCS traffic. This is happening on several scanners both Whistler and Uniden. All scanner are located within 5 miles of the Dresden Tower and have been programmed and operating fine for over 2 + years until recently. Has anyone else noticed any similar issues?

Thanks

Seemingly, Dresden is off line. I'm in N Zanesville and can reliably receive it. If you are in the North end of the county you might try the Hickman tower.

To add - I think I know you

Thanks for the info, that explains the issue. I obviously do not use this forum very much, I was looking for a way to contact you directly........
