Got a hit on 453.500 in Fairfield county as a digital signal with a NAC of 293. Anyone have info? FCC license info shows CT airports with analog emissions The only digital designations were for White Plains NY but that is a stretch to reach.
453.500 DIGITAL ???

Since both UHF and VHF have been wide open, hard to tell, but my first guess would be Swansea MASS Police
but without more context [address, radio codes, ENC vs CLR) going to be hard to tell, since $293 aka N293 or 293h is the generic/default NAC

With the aforementioned band openings, the 40 odd miles from White Plains NY to Stratford are very much more likely than the OP thinks.
There's no real geographical features that will prevent that, it's basically right up the Shore Line East.

Yes huge band opening this morning. White Plains uses a regular CTCSS. Swansea is the only station using a $293. I was hearing stations 300 miles away. You easily could have beem hearing Mass. on that freq. You can see the band openings here.

Once you get orange or red over you, that shows the intensity of the distance transmitters are getting very distant. There was a lot of red a couple hours ago. Turned to orange now, but still pretty good.

Usually, if there is a VHF opening, the UHF and 800 follow suit. 99% of the time.
Hey Bob...our mutual acquaintance is back in town...Raymond C.
He was annoyed and perplexed in equal measure when he observed multiple radios in my car.
