Hi. Me again. After what I found about the STOCS system from the CT.GOV website, I decided to poke around a little more this weekend.
I came across this document:
http://www.ct.gov/demhs/lib/demhs/coord_council/demhs_minutes_10_26_05.pdf
which has a nice little map of Area 5 at the bottom. So where is the rest of the map?
Right here: http://www.ct.gov/demhs/cwp/view.asp?a=1903&q=295316&demhsNav=|
Now, you want to know what frequencies to listen for, right? During my search I found this:
http://www.ct.gov/demhs/lib/demhs/2005_june_13_draft_natural_disaster_plan_(2).pdf
Page 49 gives us frequencies for the 5 areas.
Area 1 - 153.755 MHz
Area 2 - 153.800 MHz
Area 3 - 153.935 MHz
Area 4 - 153.965 MHz
Area 5 - 153.740 MHz
From a little more surfing, it seems almost every town used to be licensed:

However, most of the Area licenses are no longer active. I believe CT State has licenses for these now. Must be only simplex operation?
Other frequencies found in this document:
46.16 - State Fire Radio Network
145.11 - Amateur Radio (voice)
145.06 - Amateur Radio (packet)
The next page makes reference to the Coast Guard and Channel 16 - which I am assuming is Marine Ch. 16 (156.80) See a full list here: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms/vhf.htm
The CT SCANNER website lists the PL for Area freqs as 162.2
http://ctscanner.tripod.com/ct_emergency_management.htm
It also lists 2 lowband freqs (42.52 and 45.6) any idea if these are still active?
Wow I talk a lot
But thats OK. As always, if anyone has more information please feel free to share it.
