This site is going to be planted behind the ODOT district garage in Chillicothe. ODOT at one time (until a year ago or so) had a 250' tower at the same location. Not exactly the best site for long range coverage, but by the sound of it the plan for this site isn't for range, rumor is they are building this site to help with in-building coverage/extra system usage capacity in and around the City of Chillicothe. Not to mention the site is going on state owned land.

Tower is up and the antennas are mounted... I am guessing at this point, all that needs done is for the T1s to be installed and base stations to be racked up this site will be online rather soon.

This site is finally online. According to my portable anyways... The site alias is "CHILI", the other site that used to have the alias CHILI is now "P-VALY" for Pleasant Valley.
Ok. So what you are reporting as CHILI is the new licensed freuqencies listed above? You said "on your portable" - I'm having a brain fart, but you aren't using a scanner to monitor, right? If you do have a scanner to monitor, could you get the primary control channel andd site ID and Zone?
And if you have a means to run a trunking program can you get the site ID, Zone, primary and at cc's, and neighbors?
Mike
Incidentally, the RRDB has reflected the Pleasant Valley site as having a Site Alias of P-VALY for some time.
Ok, just to be clear, you're saying:
* I renamed the old Chillicothe site to Pleasant Valley
So we need at least a Site ID as soon as you [or another reader] is able to ascertain. And at least the primary control channel would be helpful.
Thanks, Justin!

Sorry, the site alias is actually "CHILLI" (two L's), I didn't read my radio correctly... lol
I do not have a scanner mobile, only a radio on the system so my info is limited.
I believe the site number was 28. I will verify that tomorrow...

Thanks, Justin. I'll wait to hear from you on the Site ID. I'll modify the alias listed on the site now.

Hmm, if this site does turn out to be 712D - 28, then some other sites are going to need re-investigated to determine their site IDs. In the RRDB, Londonderry is Site iD 28. So if it turns out that CHILLI is now Site ID 28, that means Londonderry is something else now.
Mike
P-VALY has always been the alias of the previously existing site, every time I've monitored it since the beginning (like, nearly every day). If it was changed to CHILI in the database it wasn't correct.
Are you able to hear CHILLI direct? If not, if you get a chance run a trunker on P-VALY to get the site neighbors / their CCs. Chillicothe is likely going to be a neighbor of it, so we'd at least know the primary CC / Site ID for CHILLI.

Site number is 14.
Thanks Justin. Next time you're there, please try to determine what the active control channel is.
Thanks!
