Today here's what I have for the WVIRP:

9027 - Listed as Car-Car; WVSP using it for I believe vehicular traffic control
1163 - I have it listed as Martinsburg Fire 2 (not in the RR DB since I wasn't sure of it's use) is being used to what sounds like 167th Command to the BCSO.

And of course, all the regular TGs are in use for related but not all directly related.

Attached is my FreeScan file. If you see something wrong, let me know.

Just now there was a weather warning for high winds today.

I have a stream up.

Folks, the military, specifically the 167th AW and other assisting NG units, are operating a well oiled machine and were as friendly and hospitable as they could be.

On the other hand, the local government officials, specifically Berkeley County officials, are totally disorganized and ill prepared.

It has been a cluster in their handling of traffic, parking, and movement of pedestrians to & from the base. Even their "new" state of the art command post went dark and they lost all their traffic camera operations.

Sounds like they have a few Morgan Co. sheriff's office units assisting Berkeley Co. with traffic.

I just got back from the show. When we left I seen a Morgan County sheriff's car with the State Police at the entrance of the general parking lot. We left after the A-10 and now am listening to the T-Birds.

They performed the low show yesterday and the high today. I could see the TBirds from my driveway, a mountain away. #1 was singing the song.

Were they used a lot? Repeater or simplex? The NAC does match other P25 freqs in use there. The 163.4875 is listed in the RRDB, but the others aren't.

I submitted 162.6125 and 163.4125 because I have heard them used before, just confirmed that it was the guard base when I was there, 387.2000 is still a mystery, i've never heard it used before the airshow, if you live close enough plug it in and see if its active a lot.

Wasn't doubting you, just never heard them before. :) I put them in and was hearing 163.4125. I'll check 387.2000 through out the next few weeks.
