Monitored two members of the radio staff doing some impromptu portable radio testing this evening on TGIDs 16 and 17 (referred to as groups A and B respectively). Sounds great. Calls were being carried over the Central, South, and North systems flawlessly. Most of the 'testing' was being done in the Red Lion/Yoe area and the extreme southeastern York County like Brogue, Airville, Peachbottom, and Delta, an area often plagued by poor radio coverage. Results were outstanding! Very few "poor spots" along the river bank (Peach Bottom Atomic Power station and Holtwood Hydroelectric station), which isn't surprising considering they weren't using the Fulton site, which is designed to fill these gaps.
York County is in store for an advancement in communications capabilities that they're just not prepared for! Worlds of difference to protect those who protect us! As one of the techs stated, "they just don't know what's coming."
Oh, and Dave, "you can always find better but you'll never pay more!" Yeah, I'm converted, hook me up man!
