Help with frequency find here in western NC

[Nchpiboy]

Have been getting brief talk on 151.445 NXDN RAN 1.
My NC search resulted with this:

Freq Out	Freq In	Tone	Callsign	Description	Category	Agency/County	State
151.44500	159.39000	77.0 PL	WQBX299	Operations	District 10 - Lexington District Operations	Forest Service	NC
151.44500		88.5 PL	TAC 1	District 1 - Asheville District Operations	Forest Service	NC
151.44500		123.0 PL	TAC 2	District 7 - Elizabeth City District Operations	Forest Service	NC
151.44500		103.5 PL	TAC 3	District 6 - Fayetteville District Operations	Forest Service	NC
151.44500		94.8 PL	TAC 3	District 11 - Hillsborough District Operations	Forest Service	NC

Don't think that this find is NC Forestry. Asheville is well over 100 miles away from my location here in Hayesville (Clay County) This frequency is also digital. Can anyone in my area help me identify this frequency?

Just an idea, but how close are you to a railroad? A lot of the railroads out in the western part from what I understand might be switching or have switched to NXDN and depending on your IF of your receiver might be a image of a railroad frequency. I used my pro2096 IF as an example and the 160-161 railroad range falls in the 151 Mhz area. I am in the Northeast part of the state so can't verify that but I have had the same thing happen many times. In fact it's a trick to extend the range of your receiver.

Regards

Richard

Sadly no railroad here. The closet one is in Sylva NC. Great Smokey Mountains Railroad. Thank you for trying.

You might want to try NCDOC.

In Clay Co NC, you're very close to the state lines with Georgia and Tennessee. Have you considered searching those states to see if anything nearby pops up?

Don''t rule out an adjacent +/- frequency bleeding over

Hello to all and thanks you for your interest in my post. I did a DB search before I posted; got some results but they seem too far away from my location. Ill keep listening; maybe get a clue from talk.

Ck out the license WQGL642, I know its one step down from 151.445, but it is NXDN.

OHHH Man I messed up - that's it -even has the same RAN value. Just like @ecps92 said -Channel bleed over. Thank you to both for making me see it.
