You're killin' me man. That is a beautiful view. And no wonder you were picking up so much
@DeaconHarry16 that is an awesome picture and view.
There is definitely nothing like that in Ohio. I can't
I would have expected more VA sites online down in the areas where there are already some VA sites online. But from the vantage point you were at, you would have been able to copy quite a few locations if they had been online. . You picked a good time to go though. By the weekend it might as well be wintertime.

Mike, I think if Arista was on line Harry would of been able snag it from his location.
No doubt, Tom!
With the locations that Harry has been at, you would think that West Virginia is completely confirmed.
We’re pretty confident that Ohio has been complete but we still haven’t been able to verify site 103.

The site has been isolated for a long time. Site info has timed out / CC could've rotated, etc.
had clear copy on 5,6,10,11,12,13,14,16,20,21,22,25,27,28,29,34,36,37,40,42,43,46,48,54,57 and several weak ones that never resolved...
A good day

When you set on top of mountain its amazing what you may receive.
Checked Honaker again with 54 also showing up as a failed, isolated neighbor. I also attempted all of the frequencies (855.8625 and the rest licensed to that site) with no P25. The EDACS control channel at the same location is still transmitting full blast.
Great location! I stop by there every so often to take in the views.
Its a four hour plus drive from my location, but could one day be added to my bucket list. 
LA/AR/TX Update
I got as far as north Benton and west Bellevue with only the 3.3 CC lighting up. However all the EDACS CC's seem to still be online. 80.80 and 55.55 both showed their common neighbors isolated at different times. Talkgroups started to become active on the TDMA CC sites and seemed to be quiet on the FDMA sites. They are obviously messing with stuff so my one or two day monitorings are not enough. I assume the FDMA CC sites are going to switch over to TDMA CC sites at some point but it may take a few trips to nab them all. It's only a matter of time before work sends me north of Shreveport again. If not, I may plan a few personal trips to investigate north Caddo LA/ETX. And then another one to see about the sites in south Caddo/Desoto/ETX. I bet AR has sites online by now too.
These were all picked up from 55.55:

Also 3.3 county location is Bossier. It's a mistake on the FCC page that plagues several systems/frequencies. But the transmitter is indeed deep within Bossier Parish.

Several sites are now reporting site 92. CC corresponds to San Perlita site. Haven't been able to receive it yet even though other deep S Tx are coming in strong tonight.
I've included a P25data file that was started clean for 1F* sites.
I'll be up in Shreveport by Dec. 8th or so and will be in the area for several months while I'm on duty (I'm on equal rotation now, two weeks on/two weeks off). I'll be able to check out quite a bit as I have time.
I tried to start over with a fresh P25 data file. Within a day, it reverted back to my old one even tho I moved it off the laptop. Weird.
I went to the Plain Dealing tower today. It wasn't transmitting anything at all, not even EDACS. But I did pick up a medium strength signal from the following.
Site: 5.5 NAC=005
Neighbor: 92715.1F9-3.3 ; Bellevue, LA
Neighbor: 92715.1F9-55.55 ; Shreveport (Arsenal Hill), LA

Which would have been confirmed had I not also picked up the following at about the same strength.

Either one could be Hosston. And neither is Plain Dealing. Utility licenses are confusing when they share frequencies with many other sites. You really don't know until you go to the sites sometimes.

This is definitely the case with Entergy. Luckily, with AEP in South TX at least, they are only licensing 4-8 frequencies at most sites which makes identification during band openings or travel much easier. But I can remember 15-20 years ago trying to map out the old Moto Entergy system and having no clue which site I was hearing.
What's the CC freq of 1F9-89.89 ? (a peer of 5.5)
Site: 89.89
Channel 8-658: 855.1125-1 CC
Crap. I forgot about Texas and Arkansas. If you're not familiar with Plain Dealing area, check out a map. I was near both of them and I was getting spotty long distance signal today on the road with the weather.
