This is the first major weekend of the year. There have already been announcements of a major UHP DUI Blitz so keep your ears tuned.

One question I have, does anyone know if there will be a way to monitor the Lil Sahara operations from the SL Valley? Each summer the only thing I have been able to catch is Airmed/Lifeflight going down there. Anyone know of any other channels that may affiliate up this way?

Last year a portable system was setup that bridged 800 MHz to VHF. To my knowledge that did not connect back to UCAN and was just a local site repeater. :(

Monitor the UtCo North and South TGs. There are checkpoints west of Elberta on US 6 all weekend. The UHP South Tg had traffic on it at Little Sahara last year and the MVED TG (4864). If you are on the west end of the Salt Lake valley you may with a high end antenna pick up 154.800 which is Juab S.O off the Eureka repeater. They will probably have a chopper staged at LS all weekend as they have in the past.

Funny you should mention MVED being involved. I heard a few radio checks on that TG today.

MVED has been rather active this evening on Black Crook. Lots of registration checks from 13 Bravo units on the Juab SO channel as well. Already turning into a wild weekend.

I'll take a SWAG* and say MVED stands for Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division??

I've been hearing Law Enforcment type traffic on 154.8000 for the past month here in Bountiful. Two different tones. 210.7 which I think is Box Elder SO, and 162.2 which I think is UHP. Naturally nothing on it tonight.

on a side note, I did hear a liscense plate being run on 149.8375. The requesting unit said he was on Black Crook.

MVED (and others) Time: July 4th weekend. Place: Lucerne Marina, Manila, Daggett County, UT.
A spotter somewhere inconspicous, sat and watched every approaching vehicle.
"Red Chev truck with jet skis, passenger is drinking a beer."
"Doolie with blue & white boat, trailer lights not working"
And so on and so forth it went. People looking to have a nice weekend got directed to an area of the parking lot where a cadre of officers with ticket books were waiting.
You name it, I heard it: child unrestrained, no safety chains, no trailer license, no lights, drinking, smokin' weed, unlicensed boats. MVED loves holiday weekends!
