Grayson County KY Received In Pennsylvania?

[KC3ECJ]

Tonight I apparently received 155.010, FM voice, from Kentucky. They were dispatching to a place in Owensboro, Daviess County, based on the address I got.

I'm not sure what the local usage is there, the closest RR listing I could find within Kentucky was EMS dispatch from Grayson County.

I'm in Lackawanna County Pennsylvania.

Seems to be a 640-660 mile hop.

That might indicate that 2 Meters might have some good ducting this evening. I'll have to take a listen... 73, Dave K4EET

Yep tropospheric ducting, 155.01 was always a common police frequency around the country in the old days. I get Coast Guard stations from very far away when conditions are right.

I was just listening to someone saying that somebody recently from southern Virginia got into the N3VTH in PA repeater recently, like in the past week or so.

Yes, that is the fun part of the ducting phenomenon. DXing on 2 Meters at its best...
