FiRST (Howard County Simulcast) Calls Platform

[SpectralContent]

Hi all! After a brief hiatus from taking down the Baltimore City Broadcastify calls node due to moving, I have started a new node (Node 1045) for the FiRST Howard County Simulcast section. Some of the TGs added so far include MSP Waterloo, MSP Westminster, MSP Golden Ring, DNR Area 5 Dispatch, Patapsco State Park Ops (North, South, Admin, MdTA Police (Tunnels) and MTA SubwayLink. Give it a listen and let me know what you think! I am open to adding more talkgroups to the streaming list. Link: https://www.broadcastify.com/calls/node/1045

I would imagine MSP College Park and MSP Rockville will be carried on the Howard Simulcast cell once they come online.

Any timeline on that? Say the word and ill add them in.

Next year. Major delay due to network redesign. MSP Frederick might be available on the Howard site.

I'll be on the lookout. I'll add Frederick in to see if I can pick it up.

I frequently hear MSP Fred on the Howard site.

Is there a way to get this to show up in the Browse list? I swear there used to be a Statewide section but for the life of me I can't find it...

All them should be in the Statewide section last I checked.

I get nada. All of the city/county feeds are there but I don't see FIRST...

Ah! It's on the calls platform. That's why you aren't seeing it.
calls.broadcastify.com

It's not a traditional radio feed. See the link in my original post.

Oh, sorry for the confusion...it's been forever and a day since I browsed MD on Broadcastify, so I'd just assumed they'd added statewide systems to the browse list...now I see that it's in the dropdown under the Listen button. I've been using sdrtrunk off of the Baltimore tower....is there a way to determine how far/which TGs each site gives you? It sounds like Howard and Baltimore pretty much mirror each other, so far...not an issue quite yet considering I still am not going back to the office so I can use my own receiver at home, but I was just curious.

Thanks for providing the feed.

Some talkgroups that might be good to add: MD Tac's, NRP Area 3 & 7, MEMA, MSP Glen Burnie

SHA District 7 added

 

[baybum]

Not a critique or anything, because you know I appreciate this feed, a lot. But what is the attraction to monitoring SHA?
Serious question...and not making any suggestions.

Thanks

If you want to hear where accidents/roadside hazards are. All the HELP trucks (or whatever they are called) use and are dispatched on those talkgroups.

Adding these talkgroups to broadcastify doesn't really compromise the scanner itself, it simply just adds to what TGs are recorded and sent to the website.

 

[baybum]

Gotcha. I see it very useful during snow storms.

Subway channels were useful if you were following the aftermath of the lightning strike out at West Cold Spring.
