I know everyone is gearing up to eat as many fried foods as possible so here is your "Monitoring the 2010 NC State Fair" thread. 
I will update this thread as the days progress and as more verified monitoring catches are found.
Any additions or corrections are appreciated and can be sent to
KE4ZNR@radioreference.com.
Have a Safe and fun time out at the Fair!
2010 NC State Fair
NC State Fair Website
Majority of NC State Fair Communications will take place on the State of NC VIPER system.
Wake Counties part of VIPER operates in a Simulcast Mode which means all you should need to do is enter the 2 Control Channels of 868.7875Mhz & 868.5625Mhz in Control Channel only mode on any recent scanner to be able to monitor communications.
The talkgroups that are being used are analog so any recent Trunktracking scanner should be able to monitor the following:
NEW This year! Monitor the above 4 Talkgroups here at Radioreference.com!
NCSHP will also be using The analog SHP Troop C "Common 1" and "Common 2" t
alkgroups for unit to unit tactical chatter. Those talkgroups:
Fairgrounds Public Safety should also be active on their
digital talkgroup of 32.
To help you understand Comms between the NCSHP Command Post "CP" and the NCSHP Traffic Direction "Posts" you will find a adobe acrobat pdf
file showing all post locations below:

Of course you probably want to keep an ear out on the Family Radio Service/GMRS Frequencies (they are always busy):
And of course you will probably find the MURS Frequencies busy as well:
And if you are lucky enough to be around the Fairgrounds while an event is going on at the RBC Center you might hear some of their radio traffic on these frequencies:
As always, see something I have left out or know of a correction that needs to be made to the above list?
Feel free to email me KE4ZNR@radioreference.com and let me know!
Enjoy the Fair and Happy Monitoring!
