Fairfield County Fire

[wa8pyr]

Hearing rumors that the repeatedly-delayed Fairfield County Fire migration to MARCS is scheduled for early January. Can anyone confirm, or is this another "we'd really like to do it by this date but just don't know if we can make it or not" situation?

Sending you an email.

Sending you an email.

Is this top secret information that can't be shared with the community? Others are certainly interested in Fairfield Co.

Not at all. Was working with him on some programming on Pickaway Co and had the Fairfield tgs in an email from a previous contact and it was just easier to copy the email to him since he is an admin. If he doesn't add them I will add them to the database but will have to type them in from a pdf.. Probably laziness on my part.

They switched over last week. Told none of their mutual aid PSAPs.

They took the analog Broadcastify feed offline. Any word on whether they are going to restore it once they get the trunked system in place?

That would be up to the volunteer who provides the feed whether or not they can or want to invest money into the feed.

Who exactly ran the previous Fairfield Co and Lancaster feeds? They weren't marked as official feeds, but I recall the descriptions mentioning something about using an antenna on the EMA building..?

I've had plans to put together a feed covering Fairfield County with an old scanner, but will need to do some testing now that they're on MARCS. Although that's buried in a list of a hundred other projects, so it's hard telling when I'll get to it.

You should be fine as long as you can hear the Lancaster tower well; that's the only one which every Fairfield County talkgroup will show up on pretty much all the time (although I'm not sure about PPD).
