Has anyone heard any activity on 172.8125 MHz in the Poolesville, MD area? This a federal frequency assignment.
NAC 4C5 National Park Service
Looks like you have an ID for 172.8125 and was/is not MSCOMMNET-Maine TRS from Sugarloaf Mountain...as once thought...Maine took a big chunk of federal allocations, and RR Band frequencies...
170mhz RFE at 110 watts transmitting P25 modulation would be one hell of a ridiculously lucky skip to pull and decode correctly on two separate receivers from over 500 miles away, and necessarily a skip due to the curvature of the earth getting directly in the way...

Same activity is heard on 170.3625 and 169.6875 KQC732
In that case
Ch.01 Lambs Knoll Repeater 170.36250 (Frederick Co/Washington Co, MD border)
Ch.02 Maderis School Repeater Correct name is Madeira School (Great Falls) 169.6875
Ch.03 Cacapon State Park Repeater 166.35000 Can't receive this one.
Ch.04 Irons Mtn Repeater (North Branch, MD I assume)
And there's no way I'm receiving the Irons Mt repeater. There must be another one somewhere else.
Not to go off topic but I have heard 171.9000 NAC 4F9 from eastern howard county, it is pretty weak from my location but definitely NPS related. I wonder if that is the missing link?
