The plot thickens. heard again today talking about Wendell Road add that to Bath Road and White Road. Hopeful of nailing this one, eventually.

Its Bass road not Bath. Warwick mass has Bass road white and wendell road. so it warwick mass
Warwick mass is western mass so you wont get the Boston accent seeing how it is western mass
Excellent work - you nailed it!
=
KNGP421 Town of Warwick. License expired ages ago.
So to others check your logs for a 123 hz tone on 33.060.
thanks!

36.5 74.4 Spanish coming in to central KY right now, strong signal, a male and a female chatting.
There is a squak when the male transmits at the beginning before he starts speaking.

25.8000 AM is actually a European pirate shortwave broadcaster!
I can confirm the 25-28 MHz taxi dispatcher comms out of Latin America. 99% of these land mobile users are using AM mode only radios that cover 25.6150 MHz - 28.3050 MHz, AM/FM mode radios that cover the same 25.615-28.305 range, AM/FM/SSB radios that cover 25.615 MHz - 30.105 MHz, 25.165-28.755 MHz and/or AM, AM/FM, or AM/FM/SSB radios that cover 25.615-27.405 MHz, 26.065-27.855 MHz or 26.515-27.855 MHz
Taxi cabs and other land mobile users tend to favor the 25.6150 to 26.0550 MHz band, the 26.0650 to 26.5050 MHz band but the 26.5150 to 26.9550 MHz band, the legal CB band 26.9650-27.4050 MHz band and the 27.4150 MHz - 27.8550 MHz band and the 27.865 MHz - 27.995 MHz bands are popular too, especially above roughly 27.6 or 27.7 MHz. I’ve heard taxi cab dispatchers on 26.9050 AM, 26.9550 AM, 26.7650 AM (an almost daily catch - 26.765 MHz AM is out of Mexico City, along with other confirmed QSL’d taxi dispatchers, including on 27.5050 MHz AM, 27.5150 MHz AM, 27.7650 MHz AM, and many others. 27.7750 AM, 27.7850 AM, up to 27.9950 AM and others in the lower part of 10m.
25.6950 AM - YL Taxi cab dispatcher with end of transmission tone/tones (Mexico)
25.7750 AM - YL Taxi cab dispatcher
25.7850 AM - YL Taxi cab dispatcher
25.9650 MHz, 25.9750 MHz, 25.9850 MHz and 25.9950 MHz are home to AM mode taxi dispatchers but also SSB freebanders.
26.0050 AM
26.0350 AM
26.1150 AM
26.1350 AM
and many others are taxi dispatchers.
In regards to Latin American freebanders - here is a good starting point for their calling frequencies
27.4550 MHz USB - Latin America Primary
26.5550 MHz LSB - alternate for 27.455 USB
26.5400 MHz LSB - QSY from 26.555 LSB
27.5150 MHz LSB - Caribbean
27.5100 MHz LSB - alternate for 27.515 LSB
26.2250 MHz USB - Mexico
26.5850 MHz AM - Mexico very popular
26.5950 MHz AM - alternate for 26.5850 AM
26.7050 MHz AM - Puerto Rico
26.7150 MHz AM - Puerto Rico
26.7250 MHz AM - Puerto Rico
27.0650 MHz AM - Latin America Primary
27.0050 MHz AM - Latin America Primary
27.0350 MHz AM - Latin America Primary
27.4550 USB and 26.5550 LSB are the main SSB frequencies. The 27.655 to 27.725 (roughly) range (5 kHz steps, USB and LSB) with lots of activity focused on 27.6650 MHz 27.675 MHz and 27.695 MHz are very popular.
The legal CB band in Brazil (and other South American countries) extends up to 27.855 MHz. AM, FM and SSB are allowed just like here in the USA, but power output limits are higher and, just like the US, effectively unenforced.
=====
I only checked the band for about 10-15 minutes this morning but the Asian fishery radio service chatter was coming in on 31.1000 MHz FM [CSQ]. Lots and lots of European POCSAG pagers on 27.8500 MHz, 27.7500 MHz, 27.7000 MHz, 27.6500 MHz, 27.4500 MHz, 26.9500 MHz, 26.9000 MHz, 26.7500 MHz, 26.7450 MHz, 26.7000 MHz, 26.6950 MHz, 26.6500 MHz, 26.6400 MHz, 26.6350 MHz, 26.4500 MHz and 26.3500 MHz Another interesting one was German FM CB chatter coming in full scale on 27.2950 MHz FM (CB Channel 29 FM).

Right now 26.110 FM coming in S-9 from CA .News feed ect and weather.
sounds like 480 Channel FM Asian Fishery Radio to me (27.500 MHz FM - 39.475 MHz FM, no CTCSS/DCS, 25 kHz channel spacing, 25 watt power output. Some radios have voice encryption, digital voice [looking into specifics on that] and voice inversion scrambling). I believe 30.3750 MHz FM [CSQ] is a new one as far as active fishery radio frequencies go, nice catch!
For my part, the band was not as crazy open as it has been, but I did hear Asian fishery radio chatter on 31.1000 MHz FM [CSQ]. Also 30.7750 MHz had very weak FM activity, no tones decoded, monitored 30.775MHz previously. I checked 30.3000 MHz, 30.8000 MHz, 31.9000 MHz and the others (29.8750 MHz, 29.7750 MHz) and didn’t hear anything today.
Interesting one! Did you get an ID?
25.9500 FM was coming in nearly full quieting late this afternoon, but there was either very low audio level or no audio at all on the signal. No tone decoded either. I know during the last sunspot peak I would hear the WBAP STL (I believe it was WBAP) and it had strong audio on 25.9500 MHz FM with a CTCSS tone. 85.4 Hz or 82.5 Hz if my memory serves me correctly. Plus, 25.91 FM and 25.99 FM would come in nice and strong almost as often as 25.950.
Somebody please correct me on that. Maybe I wasn’t hearing WBAP’s signal, or maybe they’ve switched to a different studio-transmitter link system and 25.95 FM is a backup. Would make sense to me to turn the CTCSS tone/PL tone off when the link isn’t active.
The IFB/STL band is actually pretty big. 25.870 MHz - 26.470 MHz in 20 kHz steps,
25.8700 MHz
25.8900 MHz
25.9100 MHz
25.9300 MHz
25.9500 MHz
25.9700 MHz
25.9900 MHz
26.0100 MHz
26.0300 MHz
26.0500 MHz
26.0700 MHz
26.0900 MHz
26.1100 MHz
26.1300 MHz
26.1500 MHz
26.1700 MHz
26.1900 MHz
26.2100 MHz
26.2300 MHz
26.2500 MHz
26.2700 MHz
26.2900 MHz
26.3100 MHz
26.3300 MHz
26.3500 MHz
26.3700 MHz
26.3900 MHz
26.4100 MHz
26.4300 MHz
26.4500 MHz
26.4700 MHz
That allocation is shared with all sorts of other services, including HF marine, various fixed/mobile, land mobile, paging, military, etc. services. Not to mention it falls within the 25.6 MHz - 28 MHz “freeband” 11m band plan. Lots of taxi cabs and other land mobile/business comms on the mid/high 25 MHz band and lower to mid part of 26 MHz, especially in Latin America…but everywhere really.
