My apologies if this was already posted...


Looks like Avon inked the deal... I guess it also involved improving the antenna at the dump.
any ideas on what traffic this site would carry, besides Avon?
For example, Troop H site carries Hartford Fire, Bloomfield PD/FD, etc.

Not sure, I would IMAGINE it would be a part of L Simulcast if I had to guess...? And carry H, L, B, A, and LCD voice traffic?

H/BDL would be nice, I am slightly out of range to use the H Simulcast now so I don't hear that or Bloomfield

The whole Avon thing is either earlier in the thread or in its own. New tower at Transfer Station (can't call it a dump anymore), PD, FD, DPW on the system, using Troop H simulcast.

On TG 47 (CLMRN Test8) I heard pretty consistent tile / grid testing on the G Site from ~9am to ~3:30pm predominately from UIDs 1034xxx and 1039xxx ... Norwalk based on the numbering standard. I also noticed site 1-38 as a neighbor to G that I haven't observed as a neighbor since it was temporarily set up at the Bayberry tower when Westport was coming online in 2021. The neighbor frequency currently linked from the G site for site 1-38 is 774. 51875 but I'm not getting any traffic or carrier from my location in northern Westport.

That particular frequency is listed in RR as a control frequency for the ERV site 1-33. I don't recall if that's one of the same CC frequencies used temporarily in 2021 on Westport's Bayberry tower before it cut over to a full G simulcast tower, but according to my notes, the Bayberry tower was definitely using site "1-38" at the time. So maybe this is indication of the Norwalk buildout progressing.

Anyone with better Norwalk coverage seeing any sign of life on site 1-38 on 774.51875 ? Or anyone have better info on Norwalk's progress that supports or contradicts my observations ?
