Intermountain Communications LTR question (Mingus Mountain)

[radioman2008]

I live in the tampa bay florida area, a few days ago, got a hit on 452.3875, I ran LCN finder and got Home 3
this matches the system below (as well as a system in TN)
its possible there was a band opening. can anyone confirm this system is still active?

While I never say never in these things the likelihood of you actually hearing the Arizona system from FL is remote, even with ducting.

What I think might be more likely is hat there is a similar system in the area on some of the same frequencies. Check for FCC licenses on these channels with transmitter sites closer to you. It could even be the same company owning them and they could have similar or identical system identification.

I was listening on and off for a couple of hours today and didn't hear anything. Of course, listening to Clarkdale, Jerome, Sedona, etc. is much different than listening to RWC or Topaz.

Even the ham repeaters were very quiet.
