Stark County EMS In LaSalle County?

[MikeyC]

For the last year or more, Stark County EMS has been providing transfers and whatnot in LaSalle County. This used to be provided by Marseilles and I think Ottawa even tried to get involved by staffing a third ambulance to provide this service. I know a couple of years ago when I was in St. Margaret's in Peru, Peru EMS did a transfer from there to OSF St. Anthony's in Rockford for me. Any ideas on the frequency that Stark County might be using (if one at all)? I have 151.4975 (136.5) in my radio but haven't heard a peep.

Any ideas?

They have a new license (from the WIKI) FCC Callsign WSCG352 (STARK COUNTY AMBULANCE SERVICE)
Possibly try 155.325 repeater (formerly 131.8) , or 155.205. (although reaching LaSalle County would be tough)

911 system is currently going through some changes. Maybe they are on a fire frequency or even using SC21, with a large coverage area.

Interesting didn't know about them having a facility in East Moline. Around here (Quad-Cities) all EMS comms are on the SARA trunked system. Haven't heard anything locally on 155.340.
