5/9/2024 North Carolina, Pro 2055, extended double zepp.
Very active between 18:00 and 22:09. The non-stop skip was unstable and choppy but I managed to get many stations. Of the top of my head are:
Stations QV, TN, and WW
Lancaster co PA
60-Control
Barnstable county
Suffolk county
KCF-415
Many more. Most did not make the cut.
OHHHH nice catch of control 3 (old saybrook ct) with the tone out on 46.18 and call on 46.26 low power linked to there UHF system

also that call for moosup came threw Loud and clear

Oh it's confusing to those of us who listen to it locally too! We've tried to figure out that part of the state for years.

To add onto the dozens of UHF channels also used, then the confusion steps up to a "10".

QV is the primary user of 33.8000 (which is fire dispatch) and 33.8800 (which is EMS dispatch). Both use a 179.9 PL tone.
Because of the overlap of EMS and Fire, it's likely that 33.8000 and 33.8800 are commonly simulcast.

I could look at at the pls. Many disp. go out on it 33.8 then repeated on 33.88. Connecticut is baffling. If you know it all, please tell us.
Not All of the Ct its just the north east corner aka the quite corner

Middlesex county used to be do easy everyone dispatched on 46.18 (except Deep river when control 5 was round 46.08 ) 46.04 was for EMS
