Woodstock Area LTR System

[Forts]

Was on my way to Woodstock today and I took a close call hit on 164.3400. My Pro-106 identified it as an LTR channel (HR:10 1-10-008). I just did a TAFL search and came up with the following:

163.500000 167.160000 YARMOUTH TOWNSHIP (L 9 & 10 C 12) Oxford Communications LTD
164.340000 170.520000 YARMOUTH TOWNSHIP (L 9 & 10 C 12) Oxford Communications LTD
164.520000 168.540000 YARMOUTH TOWNSHIP (L 9 & 10 C 12) Oxford Communications LTD
164.580000 168.600000 YARMOUTH TOWNSHIP (L 9 & 10 C 12) Oxford Communications LTD

Has anyone been monitoring, or have any details on this system? If not, I will run LTR trunk next week when I'm back in Woodstock and see what I can gather.

No Info on it. Vhf trunking is rare and LTR even rarer. The township is small and I cant see a need for a trunked system. It will be interesting to see what you find next time your in the area.

From their website Oxford Communications Motorola Two-Way Radio Dealer Index Page " Byron (W. London) Site

Oxford provides VHF Master Antenna facilities as wel as three VHF conventional community repeaters at this site located at the 450 foot level of the Rogers CATV head-end at Byron. Byron is located just West of the City of London, Ontario"

I ran across this system last month. I'm near downtown London. I only heard definite activity on:

164.340 (LTR ch 10) and
164.580 (LTR ch 15)

The TalkGroups heard were:

1-10-006
1-10-008
1-10-011
1-15-006
1-15-007

I don't know which LTR channels, if any, the remaining frequencies are.

Hope that helps getting started

I heard activity on 164.3400 while out by the Flying J and it was clear as a bell. TAFL shows a transmitter site out by St Thomas airport. Interesting that they mention 800mhz trunking on their website, but no mention of VHF.

1-10-011 sounds like a Taxi service... Just heard a call for a pickup at Kinsman arena on Wharncliffe to the Holiday Inn on Exeter Rd
