I live just outside of the HFD CLMRN range, HFD clmrn works great when I'm near Hartford mobile, So 154.31 is a must for me here in the sticks, No outside antenna

Last I knew Most of Hartford PD/FD antennas were on the tower building @ the HIG

I've been in the radio room there @ the HIG, Pretty good

OT

Gonna miss HPD if they ever go ENC, Now thats a Good listen !!

Often at night in the Southern Berkshires, we’d pick up Hartford Fire on our Minitors since there’s no PL. Especially towards towards the Otis and Sandisfield area

Thank you to everyone who responded to the poll and provided comment. The intent of the poll was to gauge the relevance of 154.310 in the era of Broadcastify and Zello.

i have it several VHF radios also monitor it on the 800mhz conventional system.

In the old days when Berkshire County dispatch was in Great Barrington (the old "470"), on the overnights, after Hartford did their radio check, some of the overnight guys (one who I am related to) would call to Hartford to confirm the radio check in Berkshire County, which they would acknowledge. 154.3100 was a very busy frequency in New England at one time. Between Berkshires, Hartford, Clinton, Everett, Warwick, and the statewide use in Maine, it could be interesting to monitor on a good receiver.

Don't forget Brockton! They walk all over Maine State Fire during the summer.

Is the demise if this transmitter on the table?

There’s still a lot of older scanners that don’t follow trunking used by friends and family of HFD… one of the main reasons they continued on their old VHF frequency… I believe they even patched their fireground channels to it when the trunking was installed…?

I remember hearing the different incident channels on it, and if dispatch keyed up, it would bounce back to that. This is back in the mid 90s when I lived in Springfield.
