Thanks guys! I snagged those three sites while en route to campus... Made it back in one piece. I appreciate all the help with keeping everything updated regarding this system. It has certainly been fun!
Kepp up the good work on the new findings! Where I live I have to be close to one of the towers. I remember years back I found alot of new sites for FL areas when I was doing road trips.

I had a chance to talk to one of the linemen that was repairing some lines in my neighborhood. He was actually pretty radio-savvy and said that the rollout of the new Power On Radio Network is going well and they are upfitting about 30 trucks a day, with completion hopefully by next year. He said that installation at the dispatch center or Hub has over 60 positions and handling the load well. Hopefully there will be at least a little clear traffic in the end.

For the NC/SC folks, now is a great time to check out the Duke Energy sites using DSD+ or DSD FME, with the storm moving in there is lots of activity including LRRP GPS data. This gives you a chance to play with and learn the LRRP.exe program.

Unconfirmed new TGs for the Duke system, hoping someone can confirm or prove me wrong. All seen on Auburn Rd or Method Rd Raleigh Sites...

62009 Ashville (Ashville units seen along with Ashville GPS coordinates)
62245 Ashville (Ashville units seen along with Ashville GPS coordinates)
62357 New Bern ??? (Not enough hits to be sure)
62380 New Bern (Multiple New Bern units)

As a side note, if our Duke Energy Comms guy is still watching this thread, I'd love a DM so I can ask about some abbreviations we've come across.

There is a Duke Energy Comms guy on here? I must have been AWOL for that. But cool!

I put in dallas site 23 and shows one offline site 85 854.5625.

Site 3D4-23.23 has listed Site 2D7-85.85 ever since 3D4-23.23 was discovered. 2D7 is typically all FL. If that is true, 2D7-85.85 might be WRFP217 Sumatra FL (Liberty).

Of course, unless it comes online some day, we'll never know. Sort of seems like an unlikely thing / probable error in the system. 2D7 ends (so far) with 2D7-54.54 and it would atypical of Duke to then set a site with such a high site number and leave all the space between 54.54 and 85.85.

Actually, scratch Sumatra. It is already in the DB as 2D7-50.50 with the location of Sumatra.
