only one t/g observed tg 1 it kept showing on a revolving basis thru the frequencies (not CAP) sounded like an engineering operation same two voices
On a weird note on 457.525 Simplex at same time a P25 signal with NAC 293 h was talking doing security check screening , not sure if Canadas own CBSA or the ships screeners

Which of the Brillance freqs did you reconfirm as still analog ?

Nice work on Amudsen - she was in Boston late last year, but I was not able to get in town those days.
I am hoping to a catch her this fall

keep an eye on them next visit as it would be ODD for both 458/468 and a 468/458 due to descense that would occur

(Sapphire) Still Analog, but which frequencies did you actually get - nice to see some still Analog
Next visit, we still need to find the Engineering input

Volendam - I don't have 457.6875
457.56875 6.25 is CC:13 as part of a Cap+

I compared to what you have in analog they where same
Volendam is CC 2 your site shows CC 13 yes CAP i put in correct LCN to 436HP and it scanned perfectly (or followed convo)
sorry correct is 6.25 457.56875 CC 2

So you heard them ALL then in Analog ??
I prefer specific confirmations vs generalities (Freq/Tone vs Analog) as we have found ships have been known to change PL's over the years
also have inverted the Repeaters etc etc

Thanks for the other info Odd they went from CC13 to CC2, still Cap+ ??
