Interference on 151.6625/159.795

[KB1OKU]

My fellow scanner buffs,

I am looking for some help solving an interference issue. My fire department is getting hammered by a distant station on 151.6625 & 159.795 with a PL of 127.3. Judging by the propagation maps, we believe it is a station in Maine, and we have heard bits and pieces of traffic that sound like a towing company. The key to this is there are always DTMF tones when one of their radios keys up. If some of you in Maine could monitor those frequencies and let me know if you hear anything that could help identify the source, that would be greatly appreciated. From Mass, it is hard to make out any identifying info thru the static.


Thank you.

That could be users on the MaineStream solutions network. 151.6625 and 159.795 would both be off Streaked Mountain, which could reach down to you in the right conditions. AAA is one of their customers.

Here is the kicker, rumor has it that MaineStream went under. So you may run into some issues trying to further resolve this.
