Two nights ago I was doing one of my usual VHF searches and came across a frequency that is not listed in the DB (at least not with this DPL) -- 156.1875 with 343 DPL.
There was not enough traffic on it for me to really pick out who it was. What I did catch was "518 returning to station".
Upon doing an FCC search, there is an FCC license WQNX406 licensed to Venango Co which indicates "County 911 Center. Dispatch of Remote Volunteer Fire Departments". This license lists 156.1875 as a repeater output with 151.325 as the input.
Just wondering if somebody in/around Venango can plug this frequency in and monitor it for any activity over the next few weeks.
When I heard traffic on it, I thought I heard them say "518 returning to station". It definitely was either Fire or EMS related.
If you do plug this frequency in and you do confirm that it is Venango Co Fire, please submit your findings to the DB so the appropriate DB admin can add it for the benefit of all.
If you do confirm 156.1875 as being active in Venango Co but you are picking it up with a different DPL/PL tone, please post here. That would mean I was hearing some other place.
Thanks
