I looked in the database and they are still on the Low band and VHF High.

 

[ShawnCowden]

i do hear the buzz on the control channel but i cant get any tgs

im here in east lancaster off 22 and i can get a 60-95 percent on the cc

i hear nothing on low band either but i do hear stuff on 154.980

Fairfield Co, right? I'll be moving there soon. I haven't tried listening to Hocking on MARCS. What scanner are you using?

 

[xusmarine1979]

Try Perry County's site too.

 

[ShawnCowden]

yeah fairfield co perry county junction city site comes in loud and clear alot of traffic is same as lancaster site cause post 23 covers fairfield and perry

 

[xusmarine1979]

Ahh, didn't know that. But from what this RR Database says, Hocking is still on Conventional. Does Hocking have their own site or do they share with somebody as well?

 

[ShawnCowden]

hocking and athens counties are together i believe with 2 sites in each county

 

[ShawnCowden]

im picking up the sugar grove site

wish i could pick up circleville sites

 

[xusmarine1979]

And still can't hear the TG's, huh? Can you hear any on Hocking's sites? That kinda sucks cuz Logan is the closest Walmart to Lancaster, ain't it? And that's where I do most of my shopping.

 

[ShawnCowden]

nope just the digital buzz

 

[xusmarine1979]

[ShawnCowden]

pro 96

All sites are online and operating. OSP Post 23 (Lancaster) is online and is the only major user so far. OSP Post 5 (Athens) and ODNR should be changing over sometime this year, same for the prisons.

Those will likely be the only major players in the area. Hocking County and Athens County have or are putting new VHF systems on line.
