151.490 phone patch?

[kma371]

Every once in a while, I hear some type of business using a phone patch on 151.490 PL 103.5.

Someone calls and gets a voicemail, then gives a bunch of stats, normally too fast for me to copy down, mostly about numbers and dollar amounts.

Anyone else hear this is the Sac Valley?

After reading your post I went back into some old boxes with frequency log-books that i used to keep when I drove for a living. I remembered hearing a phone patch in the VHF band near CA State Atwater in Merced, but it doesn't look like the same frequency. The one I have was in the 170 range.

Yeah I really don't know where it could be. I think it's probably in the foothills somewhere. Anywhere in the valley comes in stronger than this one.

Well from the dollar amounts and such it sounds like:
151.49000 - WQAQ896 - Operations Eagle Mountain Casino (Porterville) Tulare, CA

But that's a LONNNNNNNNNNG way away.

There's a construction company in Woodland on that frequency as well.
