Hi Folks,
RE: https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=755
The above reference FELHC (Ohio Edison / First Energy) 800 mhz Motorola Type II system referenced above is likely no longer active. However, it is still listed as active in our DB.
Many years ago they started dismantling this system. I had noted over the years that many sites which I used to be able to copy either disappeared or were put into Site Trunking mode (no longer networked).
At some point we deprecated this system (so it would not show up in the DB), based upon reports of no activity. But then there reports that some sites were still online, in Site Trunking mode, with some of those remaining sites still being active in Site Trunking but in other cases with no activity.
So I am asking you all to take a look at that system above. If you see any sites that you are _close_ to, would you please check those frequencies for the presence of an active 3600 baud Motorola control channel. [PLEASE, only do this IF you know you would be able to hear the site under normal conditions].
If you feel that one or more of the above sites is no longer active [based upon personal confirmation by monitoring after reading this thread], please click on the Submit button under that trunked system and let us know -- and/or post your findings here.
It is very likely that the vast majority of these sites have been completely dismantled and that the frequencies would be silent. But it is also possible that some may still be online, either in limited Site Trunking capacity or with zero activity [simply because they haven't gotten around to turning the site off].
Your help would be appreciated. We'd really like to fully remove this system from the database, knowing what we know, but we would really like confirmation from listeners [first hand monitoring] if possible.
Thanks!
Mike
