Today's Southern California captures, while scanning 33.000-33.995 only:

33.040114.8WQDR782Barnstable, MA. Fire DispatchFrequency/PL. Noisy.
33.740CarrierKYL829King William County, VA Fire DispatchFrequency/Lack of PL/Traffic
33.640179.9KQW555Windham, CT Fire DispatchFrequency/PL
33.840131.8KCF918Uxbridge, MA Fire DispatchFrequency/PL
33.780114.8KNGE459Falmouth, MA Fire DispatchFrequency/PL
33.880179.9KXV431Windham County, CT Fire Dispatch (QVEC)Frequency/PL
33.920241.8KGY225North Stonington, CT Fire DispatchFrequency/Traffic, PL doesn't match though. Seems to be a lot of different stuff going on on this frequency. This agency is a repeater with a courtesy beep on it. Callsign was broadcast by dispatcher of one of the multitude of agencies heard.
33.920CarrierWNKC982East Lampeter, Lancaster Co. PAFrequency/Traffic "Lancaster County", clearly patch to P25 TRS. There is still more going on on this channel than I've fully identified.
33.900241.8KCC838Groton, CT Fire DispatchFrequency/Traffic, PL doesn't match though.
33.480114.8KCB781Barnstable, MA Fire DispatchFrequency/PL/Traffic
33.86077.0KGC676Washington County, MD. Fire DispatchNot as loud as yesterday, but always reliable as an indicator. Visits very often.
33.940179.9KJL703Waterford, CT Fire DispatchFrequency/PL/Traffic
33.800179.9KXV431Windham, County, CT Fire Dispatch (QVEC)Frequency/PL/Traffic

By "Traffic", I'm indicating that something in the transmission(s) (Apparatus, address, city name, dispatch center, business name, etc.) was a positive confirmation for the agency I was hearing.

Scanning just 33MHz has yielded much more results than previously. I think I'll leave it this way for a few days. Perhaps I'll look at 31MHz and 37MHz next.
