Mammoth Lakes FS1

Big Valley Mountain

Depending on the transmitter power I *might* be able to hear Big Valley in a week or so...I'll report back either here or otherwise!

[ScannerDude244]

Anyone notice they turn off OTA?

 

[officer_415]

Alright we've got Big Valley, so now we just need:

Mammoth Lakes FS1 - alternate CCs, neighbors

Mt. Pierce - site number, alternate CCs, neighbors, NAC

I have attached a PDF version of my spreadsheet that I have been trying to keep updated with CRIS site information. The sites at the bottom of the list are the ones that have been licensed but have not been confirmed as active yet.

I am planning a 10 day trip to California in a few months with the hope of getting to as many sites as possible. My plan is to start in San Diego and work my way up the coastal area then down the western valley area, back up the eastern valley/western Sierra area and back down the eastern Sierra/desert area and back to San Diego.

Just info for your return on investment, the only site known to be online that hasn't been scouted is Mammoth Lakes FS1.

Mt. Pierce will be online soon, if not already (it was not online last month). There are no other sites currently believed to be online.

Awesome, thanks!

... I am planning a 10 day trip to California in a few months with the hope of getting to as many sites as possible. My plan is to start in San Diego and work my way up the coastal area then down the western valley area, back up the eastern valley/western Sierra area and back down the eastern Sierra/desert area and back to San Diego.

Squeezing all that in may be something of a challenge, depending on what else you plan on doing.

This is the only plan. I lived in California for 30 years so I'm aware of the challenge. Some people go on vacation to see the sights, I go on vacation to see the sites.

 

[mmckenna]

I go on vacation to see the sites.

I've been known to go out of my way to visit old AT&T Long Lines microwave sites. More than once I've detoured off my intended path when I've seen an interesting tower site on the horizon. I've gone as far as to camp at a few in remote areas.

 

[AM909]

I love the ones you can just drive up to in a passenger car, like Turqoise. Those giant Cass-horns always fascinated me.

 

[jschmall]

I'm seeing new control channels coming up for Hoadley Peak (Site 86 in Shasta), 159.232500 MHz and 159.157500 MHz.

 

[officer_415]

I'm seeing new control channels coming up for Hoadley Peak (Site 86 in Shasta), 159.232500 MHz and 159.157500 MHz.

Those will be the inputs.

 

[jschmall]

Those will be the inputs.

That’s what I saw too but for some reason trunk-recorder wanted to tune to them even though they weren’t defined as control channels. It’s something I’ll look into.

SBCO SO were testing the system a few months ago, didn't sound great lots of break ups between TX and of course they don't have a site in south county yet.
