Ah, this is pretty cool- I haven't dug into this kind of detail before! So what is the station class? FB6T, MO6, etc? Or the Frequency ID numbers? What do those represent?
Thanks for sharing! How are you searching for these? By zipcode or something?

This brings back memories, I worked with the original Bear Communications for some of the first LB Grand Prix in the early 80s before they morphed into Bearcom. I would set up the temporary base stations, check radio range throughout the complex, charge batteries, repair the mostly MT500 radios from pool of about 400 radios back then. We had a couple of rooms around the LB convention center to hand out radios, charge batts and had a small repair bench set up.

A number of us worked the Grand Prix for free because we got issued Press/photo passes that got us anywhere and everywhere. I could go on the actual track between races or lay down on the emergency breaks in the track with my head laying on the painted line with my camera and get ground view shots of cars doing nearly 200mph about two feet from my head. Seems like Bear Communications/Bearcom has the radio rentals locked up for this race for the last 45yrs or so. I'll see if I can program my TRX-1 programed for some of these freqs, thanks for posting!

Sorry for taking so long to reply.

In this case,
FB6T - Temporary repeaters that a radio shop is setting up & renting to a customer for an event.

MO6 - Are the input freqs to those repeaters.

More about station classes can be found here:

FCC Station Class Codes - The RadioReference Wiki

wiki.radioreference.com

As for searching, I use this FCC search page:

License Search - Advanced License Search

For STA licenses, I use the settings indicated by the green lines & I uncheck the boxes where the red brackets are.



Of course, you're free to use whatever search criteria suits your needs.

Freq Loc Ant Freq ID Sta Class
452.2250 1 1 1 FB6T

Loc: What place listed on the "Locations" tab of the license page is this freq at.

Ant: If a location has more than one antenna, this shows which freqs are on an antenna together.

Freq ID: Sometimes this has meaning from the license holder (i.e. channel number), but most of the time it's just a sequential number that finishes the Loc/Ant/FreqID differentiation on the license.

Hopes this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to ask. Happy listening.
