I have two others I'll place in the appropriate municipal thread.

STR I is currently showing as a peer to the Hunterdon cell. No clue where it is or why it's there, nor do I know when it popped up, only that it's reporting as active right now and has been for at least a few days.

No dice here so far

I thought maybe for Far Hills Race this weekend. Should be record turnout and arrests. I was in Far Hills. Nothing on UT or the SA for now.

Nothing heard up on the hill in Boonton between your post and now. I know this isn't exactly breaking news, but it was physically removed from the property in New Providence a couple months ago, so wherever it is, it's probably not in Union or Morris Counties.

Hmmm, throwback TG B2-9 Metro is now back with encryption testing.
B2-7 also testing encryption both REMU RID 243XX
USAR 5 Central 1 appears fully encrypted today with many agencies participating.
USAR was known for interoperability, perhaps simply testing capabilities.
All on Autopilot Site 1.

Sussex County usually gets the first decent snows of the season. While I cant’t hear Sussex, I can see. There is a larger block in use than in DB. 5497-5511. UT autopilot.

One of the Site 17 Passaic licenses has been modified. Two new locations in green below. The DB for Site 17 has not imported them yet.

 

[Jbooth75]

Would this be to improve reception in the area, or are there any plans to migrate departments in Northern Passaic County to NJICS?

 

[NNJIPScan]

Also improve reception in Northwest Bergen County.

Makes sense with some towns in the Ramsey/Mahwah region (not necessarily those towns specifically) supposedly migrating or debating doing so.

Backfilling is a time honored method often overlooked. Two birds with one stone perhaps. The northern most arrow is Upper Greenwood Lake FD and Lower arrow is road department on Macopin Rd in West Milford. The other blue pins flags are existing sites. You can see Bergen County to the East with red outline. It is nice to have FCC database back.

red outline, Nice to have FCC data back.

Coverage will be pretty significantly improved in West Milford

Are these new towers online now?

I have no idea. This information is from the license amendment only. I have seen it happen but more than often it is planned for the future. Sometimes built, sometimes not. Site 7 additional sub-site was papered a couple years before built out.

 

[GTR8000]

It'll be interesting to see where the state finds the money for two new subsites. Let's also keep in mind that a subsite for West Milford was planned years ago and never came to fruition.

 

[GTR8000]

PS - Officially, these two subsites are intended to provide better coverage in the West Milford area. Neither are going to do anything for Bergen County, seeing as how the Skyline Dr/Ringwood subsite @ 1,000'+ elevation sits right on the Bergen/Passaic border. There is too much high terrain separating northeast Passaic from northwest Bergen to make any appreciable difference in low laying places like Mahwah or Ramsey or USR. I'm not even sure if they would make much difference even if the Ringwood subsite were to go dark.
