It's mostly France - 35-36, with some conversation

I've reprogrammed my station to scan 33MHz only for a few days. Might pick up some other interesting stuff this way, so I don't have to deal with as much "lost time" with the thing sitting on hours of environmental noise. We'll see!

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

33.040	114.8	WQDR782	Barnstable, MA. Fire Dispatch	Frequency/PL. Noisy.
33.740	Carrier	KYL829	King William County, VA Fire Dispatch	Frequency/Lack of PL/Traffic
33.640	179.9	KQW555	Windham, CT Fire Dispatch	Frequency/PL
33.840	131.8	KCF918	Uxbridge, MA Fire Dispatch	Frequency/PL
33.780	114.8	KNGE459	Falmouth, MA Fire Dispatch	Frequency/PL
33.880	179.9	KXV431	Windham County, CT Fire Dispatch (QVEC)	Frequency/PL
33.920	241.8	KGY225	North Stonington, CT Fire Dispatch	Frequency/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.
33.920	Carrier	WNKC982	East Lampeter, Lancaster Co. PA	Frequency/Traffic "Lancaster County", clearly patch to P25 TRS. There is still more going on on this channel than I've fully identified.
33.900	241.8	KCC838	Groton, CT Fire Dispatch	Frequency/Traffic, PL doesn't match though.
33.480	114.8	KCB781	Barnstable, MA Fire Dispatch	Frequency/PL/Traffic
33.860	77.0	KGC676	Washington County, MD. Fire Dispatch	Not as loud as yesterday, but always reliable as an indicator. Visits very often.
33.940	179.9	KJL703	Waterford, CT Fire Dispatch	Frequency/PL/Traffic
33.800	179.9	KXV431	Windham, 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.

Boy that's bizarre... At least now I know what to listen for if that comes in. Thank you for doing that!
