Josh @n8jsw took a road trip today and confirmed five new sites online via direct monitoring and three new sites online via neighbor lists

1F6-68.68 Cutler (Washington)
1F6-73.73 Marietta East (Washington)
1F6-79.79 New Lexington (Perry)
1F6-85.85 St Marys WV (Pleasants) - covers OH territory across Ohio River
1F6-102.102 Amesville (Athens)

1F6-70.70 Darwin (Meigs) - CC: 854.2375 - neighbor of 68.68 Cutler and 102.102 Amesville
1F6-76.76 Maysville (Hocking) - CC: 854.4625 - neighbor of 77.77 Mcconnellsville and 79.79 New Lexington
1F6-83.83 Rockbridge (Hocking) - CC: 854.8875 - neighbor of 79.79 New Lexington


1F6.70-70, 1F6.76-76 and 1F6-83.83 should be considered online as they are connected (not failed / isolated). They aren't in the DB though due to the policy which says we must confirm via direct monitoring for them to be added to the DB. But if you are in Darwin, Maysville or Rockbridge, I'm sure the sites are online.

Great job, @n8jsw

Mike

Ty it was fun taking a road trip and using DSD+ finding these new sites

 

[mtindor]

Josh ( @n8jsw ) took a road trip (10 hrs when all is said and done) to southern Ohio and discovered / confirmed new sites online as well as gathered some updated neighbor lists, additional control channels and things like that for some sites.

confirmed online via direct monitoring

1F6-49.49 Blue Creek (Adams)
1F6-57.57 Minford (Scioto)
1F6-58.58 Mount Joy (Scioto)
1F6-59.59 Portsmouth (Scioto)
1F6-70.70 Darwin (Meigs)
1F6-71.71 Gallipolis (Gallia)
1F6-76.76 Maysville (Hocking)
1F6-83.83 Rockbridge (Hocking)
1F6-101.101 Piketon (Pike)
1F7-1.1 Point Pleasant WV (Mason)

online based upon neighboring site reporting it as a connected neighbor

1F6-48.48 Bentonville (Adams) - CC: 857.1625
1F6-55.55 Ironton (Lawrence) - CC: 854.1125

not currently online but listed as a neighbor all sites surrounding it

1F6-92.92 Jackson (Jackson) - CC: 854.5125

gathered additional site details for a few sites, notably

1F6-87.87 Athens (Athens)


Thanks, Josh!

Mike

 

[n8jsw]

it was an enjoyable day

 

[firemantom26]

That was one heck of a road trip Josh.
You were burning up your laptop using DSD plus

 

[wa8pyr]

it was an enjoyable day

I'm surprised we didn't bump into each other at a proper social distance. I went down US23 to the Portsmouth/Scioto County area and latched on to a bunch of the same stuff:

Site 57.57 CC - 854.3875 WQEY359 Minford
Site 58.58 CC - 855.1625 WPCQ255 Mount Joy
Site 59.59 CC - 855.0625 WQEY359 Portsmouth
Site 92.92 CC - 854.5125 (Failed, Stale) WRDH655 Jackson?
Site 101.101 CC - 856.6375 WRDH655 Piketon

I was thinking about wandering down US62 to the Adams/Brown County area (WX permitting) next week but I see you latched on to a bunch of that as well so I might not fool with it.

I told him to make sure and thank his wife for me too, since she rode along on the trip and kept him from falling asleep and driving over a cliff on the long drive LOL

Some recent Construction Requirement / Notifications that might suggest that one or more of these sites is or soon will be online. If you are in Virginia or West Virginia and near any of these sites, please check all listed frequencies for the existence of a P25 control channel. If found, please gather all details (SysID, WACN, Site ID, CCs, Alt CCs, neighbors/peers and frequencies associated with neighbors / peers).

NOTE: Frequencies with * next to them are frequencies newly added to an existing site. Historically, during this system buildout, the control channel for the new P25 system would often end up on one of the new frequencies. So I would especially look out for a P25 control channel on the freqs with *, but you should look at all freqs.

[n8jsw]

Going on a road trip tomorrow down south to see what i can get for AEP P25

 

[firemantom26]

Be safe brother.

 

[n8jsw]

Always am and thanks

 

[firemantom26]

I am sure you will bring back more data for AEP sites. Glad that you are taking the time to do this.

I wish more people would do what we have done to provide information.

Don’t talk about it, be about it.

DSD Plus is a awesome tool to find new sites

 

[firemantom26]

@n8jsw told me he was going to head out this morning around 4:00. 4 hour plus trip.

 

[firemantom26]

I just spoke @n8jsw and he has found new 3 sites with DSD Plus.

 

[wa8pyr]

I went down US62 to Hillsboro and then across US32 today to verify some stuff.

Mike wasn't sure but Site 65 is definitely Winchester; reception was very poor in Hillsboro but 100% at Winchester. For some reason I was unable to pick up the site listed as Hillsboro even though the control channels were in the radio.

Mike thought Site 101 would actually be Latham, but I don't think so; the signal in and around Latham was barely readable, but was 100% solid copy at Piketon, so I’m going to stick with Piketon for site 101. There is a tower with microwave very close to the water tower site shown on the AEP license, but I couldn’t tell if there were any 800 MHz sticks on it.

Neighbor sites were as noted on my last visit to the area.

Not sure what next weekend will bring but I'll probably head back to the area again; several old railroad stations and other artifacts crying out to have pictures taken of them

Would you please submit your information to: Submit Data to RadioReference

Great find! Thanks for being on the lookout. I'm sure there will be more new ones over time.

There are sites closer to you (but who knows if they are online). That particular site is 3825 ft ground level on Bent Mountain. So it's probably a blow torch.

FYI, I am changing my Google Map around slowly. Now, instead of separating out all states, I'm separating operating territories (Indiana-Michigan Power, AEP Ohio, Applachian Power, Kentucky Power, Public Service Co of Oklahoma, SouthWestern Electric Power Company, AEP Texas), since it seems that the various System IDs are more likely to follow the various operating companies rather than states.

NOTE: I did not consolidate things in the LA/OK/AR/TX area yet, since I'm not quite so sure where the boundaries for each operating company down there will be.
