FAIRFIELD COUNTY
Weston: Still shows FD and EMS as a simulcast even though a local monitor confirmed that is not the case
Trumbull: FD is using a VHF frequency discussed here in the forum and it still has not made it to the database months later
Stamford: We know the Volly FD's page on 154.13. Is it really necessary to list it 6 times? How about we list it once or add the PL to the rest of them?
Long Hill: That is Trumbull and should be listed there.
Cos Cob: That is Greenwich and should be listed there.
Sacred Heart University: It's not a town so shouldnt it be listed under businesses or schools?
Western CT State University: It's not a town so shouldnt it be listed under businesses or schools?
Nichols: That is Trumbull and should be listed there.
Rowayton: That is Norwalk and should be listed there.
HARTFORD COUNTY
New Britain: How about a link to the city TRS in the database (near the conventional listing)? See Newington for an example of what I am talking about.
University of Connecticut: Is not a town. It should be listed under schools/education.
Central Connecticut State University: Is not a town. It should be listed under schools/education.
MIDDLESEX COUNTY
Other Fire/EMS (Middlesex County): This would best be grouped under "Countywide" as has been done in other CT counties listings
Connecticut Valley Hospital: It's not a town so shouldnt it be listed under businesses or hospitals?
Connecticut Juvenile Training School: It's not a town so shouldnt it be listed under businesses or hospitals?
Wesleyan University: It's not a town so shouldn't it be listed under schools?
Pratt & Whitney: It's not a town so shouldnt it be listed under businesses
Westfield: Is not a town. It's part of Middletown and should be listed there.
LITCHFIELD COUNTY
Bantam: Isn't this part of the town of Litchfield?
Gaylordsville: This is New Milford and should be listed there
Terryville: This is the town of Plymouth
Lakeville: This is the town of Salisbury
Lime Rock Park should be listed under businesses.
TOLLAND COUNTY
University of Connecticut: This is not a town and should be under education/business
WINDHAM COUNTY
Eastern Connecticut State University: This is not a town and should be under education/business
East Killingly: This isn't a town. This should be listed under the town of Killingly
Danielson: Is a borough of Killingly and should be listed there.
NEW LONDON COUNTY
This is a lost cause... This area of the state stumps me (the whole Mystic, Stonington, 3 different Grotons, etc) and could use some work too. Anyone actully know what the towns/cities are? I found a few things that are off...
Jewett City: Part of the town of Griswold and should be listed there
Quiambaug Fire District: This is part of Stonington and should be listed there
Wequetequuck: This is part of Stonington and should be listed there
Groton Long Point: This is a borough of Groton and should be listed there
Southeastern Connecticut Water Authority: This is not a town its a business and belongs there
Southeastern Area Transportation (SEAT): belongs under businesses
GENERAL NOTES
Understand that these corrections will help newcomers to the hobby and in particular those who use a Home Patrol type device. Let's have some uniformity here. I know there are guidelines that the admins follow but it is not consistent across each county. An example is some counties have a business and education sections.
If we were to list each borough, village, section, etc of each town we will have a nightmare to admin. I think the City/Town concept is best for CT since that's how our government operates.
Do we really need to add so many notes to each database entry? Example "now digital" The mode emission says P25 and their is a NAC... is that no enough? I feel like we are overloading the database with bad info and making it look too busy. Would a better place to discuss the chronological changes to a system be in the Wiki section? This might help alleviate another issue I have seen where info is correct in the database and then someone submits bad info only for another person to submit the correct/verified info again. At least the admin can then refer back and see that there is a problem submitter or question changes appropriately.
