heard what sounds like a street dept. the other day talking about plowing on 17020 radio IDs where 2490079 and 2490081. Couldn't make out where they were at though but according to the first 2 digits should be Fayette County I believe. They also made mention of a street by the name of (Wentz) spelling may not be correct but I got the hit on the Greene County Simulcast site.

ODOT seems to be using the MARCS-IP system up here in NW Ohio. I heard a LOT of traffic from snow plows over the last few weeks but not much else.

Heard OSP unit 292 call for dispatch (Bucyrus) on TGID 51517. He's a Marion unit. I doubled checked this morning and the Bucyrus tower is still not online.

Talkgroup 17500, "25COMSVC". I heard something to that affect too, that there is an issue with their vehicular repeaters which may delay the OSHP switchover.

This letter explains the issue and the likelyhood that OSP's switch to MARCS-IP is not likely in the near future.

https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/...tachmentKey=19544722&attachmentInd=applAttach

This shows the request is still pending with the FCC.

Link to the SIEC website. On the main page on the left under news and information is the mention of the new date.

End of March is basically same as April or thereabouts. Granted, with OSP not migrating over soon, maybe they aren't pushing so hard for a firm cutover date. But the mention of April doesn't mean anything to me because there really is no difference between end of March or "on or around April 2015". Well, there could be, but that statement is very vague.

Of course RR users need to get to work anywhere -- there are many sites online but not in the database because the RR users aren't confirming and providing RFSS-SIte ID and CC information.

IP Sites reported online - need confirmation

Birdies have suggested that the following sites are online. Confirmation is needed by direct monitoring or monitoring of neighbor sites showing neighbor info (CC / RFSS-Zone).

Code: 
Westgate (Williams)	773.38125  772.73125  770.68125
Edgerton (Williams)	771.55625  770.75625  769.35625
Kunkle	 (Williams)	772.73125  772.00625  769.95625
Norwalk	 (Huron)	773.33125  772.70625  772.13125
			771.80625  771.53125  770.45625

Other sites that should be coming online soon if not already online:

Code: 
Bucyrus (Crawford)	773.55625  773.05625  772.23125
			771.28125  770.03125  769.78125

Fairview (Guernsey)	773.28125  773.03125  771.28125  770.20625
Londonderry		770.25625  769.83125  769.08125
New Phila (Tuscarawas)	774.53125  773.93125  772.45625  771.85625
Greenup (KY)		774.78125  774.08125  773.63125  773.20625

If you are in these areas, or can monitor a tower site that would be a neighbor of one of these sites using Pro96Com or Unitrunker, it would be very helpful to us all if you would check the frequencies listed above to see if there is a 24/7 control channel online.

Please submit any information on newly discovered sites to the DB and/or post here.

Thanks

Mike
