Will attempt to confirm these within the next few weeks.

I agree that 53.53 is likely Claudeville, but do keep in mind that it could be Buchanan - WPWQ450 when you are searching them out.

Thanks for keeping track of the VA stuff!

Had the same thing in mind. I'll be checking both locations for definite confirmation.

Fancy Gap, VA (site 41) and Wytheville, VA (site 49) are now online. Submitting those to the DB shortly. They've been hard at work the past few weeks.

As far as them being hard at work, that's great. I don't know what the weather has been like in VA (esp up at high altitudes), but Ohioh has been uncharacteristically warm, no snow, some rain, and once in a while reaching 60 degrees. Maybe they weather hasn't been as foreboding as they expected so they decided to pound some more out!

Submitted 3 more sites. One TDMA site (63) is puzzling me, cannot find any license info in the FCC database that matches. 53, 62, and 64 are neighbors so it's presumably somewhere in the Patrick/Franklin County areas. Very weak from the top of Poor Mountain, VA which is almost 4000' in elevation.

Site: 63.63 NAC=03F

Neighbor: 92715.1F7-53.53

That is quite a mystery, unless it's like Lavalette WV (actual freqs were not on any license, even though Lavalette did have its own site license). Maybe they chose something different because of interference. Or maybe it's just a new site that they didnt file for yet. Very interesting.

Nice job!

Band was wide open tonight, Was able to confirm 1F8 Site 92 - San Perlita (submitted).

 

[firemantom26]

That area is forever being watched by @n8jsw and @firemantom26 . I would have expected Beallsville to be online. But they do check down that direction regularly. When something comes online, it'll be in the DB.

There are only one or two sites in Ohio that haven't been confirmed yet (and we really don't know which sites they will be). One will be 103.103.

I went on a four hour plus road trip yesterday and I can confirm that Adario and Upper Sandusky are not on line yet. I can also confirm that Beallsville, and Bloomfield via local local monitoring are not on line either.


Ottawa “Putnam County” has not been confirmed to be on line or not, so site 103 is still a mystery. 😀😀😀

A submitter confirmed 1F9 24.24 Hugo and 25.25 Idabel in Southeast Oklahoma. AEP seems to have a goof here on 24.24 Hugo though because the control channel 854.9375 was deleted from the license (WPHD816) back in February but the two alternates are still licensed for Hugo. Both are TDMA CC.

Got a few new TDMA sites in Henderson and Overton TX to add tonight. Marshall is still the oddball with a FDMA CC at this time. It does look like Atlanta, Rosewood and Daingerfield are online according to Marshall’s neighbor list but I can’t pick them up from my area.

Can you tell me what 1F9-74.74 CC is? Also, can you provide the latest peer/neighbor list for Marshall and any CCs for those peers (if not in DB) ?

Give me a few, I’m working up the Oncor stuff right this second. I can tell you that 74.74 was showing isolated or bad info in red letters, 856.3625-1 is the CC.

I figured that the closest matches to some of these are Daingerfield, Rosewood and Atlanta, and the 74.74 could probably be one of the Bowie County sites but they are 75 miles north of Marshall. I couldn't find that freq registered to AEP in LA or AR either.

Sat under Hosston and Mooringsport towers to verify them today with all the free time covid has been granting us in the oilfield these last few days. Also picked up TG 5203 on Mooringsport with what sounded like power plant talk at the SWEPCO plant there on Caddo Lake. Updating the wiki page now also.

Nice. Anything from Plain Dealing by chance? It was not transmitting anything last I went by. That was a month ago though. If you do go that way use caution. The militarized bee warning sign on the fence is no joke; they'll come after you.

Nothing. I could get the LWIN site but nothing else in the 800’s but Hosston

1F7 sites 62 and 64 are loud and clear here on the NC border with talkgroups 4252, 4255, and 4257. Various units calling into DDC (RID 3009884) on 4252 and 4255 working tickets between Stuart and Rocky Mount, VA.
