It appears that WestCom Fire Dispatch (Forest Park, Oak Park and River Forest FDs) is currently transmitting on 159.120, which was their legacy VHF dispatch frequency. I was under the impression that this freq went silent after they moved their dispatch traffic to STARCOM21 TG 34417.

For those unable to listen over the air, transmission can be found here OpenMHz .

Their VHF freq never went silent. Even after switching to StarCom21, they continued to multicast full-time with 159.120. Their PD repeater is a different story. While they didn't do the same, there was at least one occasion where they briefly patched the StarCom21 traffic to VHF.
