heh looking at Natchez north on Google earth. I can imagine that one would be a bugger to find visually. Over this way I doubt I would have ever found New Augusta without GPS. It's literally at the arse end of nowheresville LOL.

As far as naming goes, since 98% of these sites are new construction, this is the opportune time to document this information in it's original form, from the sites,(and other sources) while all (or most) of the signage is still in place. Over time, weather and vandals are sure to slowly deface this information (as apparently has allready happened at the New Augusta site) and I think we should establish as accurate accounting of this information as possible before it is lost. That's just my way of thinking. Certainly there is any number of ways to go about.

Another side to keeping site naming as "official" as possible is if/when someone were to make contact with some of the people responsible for designing and building the system, they could speak more accuratetly with them about things. Again, just the way I think.

We try to keep things as accurate as possible and as factual as we can... Thats why the db is worlwide superbad and the best.

OK three unknowns If those CC's happen to show an SysID and Site ID... please let us know...

 

[INDY72]

Iether three of our missing links.. or LWIN sites...

 

[KE5TLF]

769.43750c possibly(probably?) Seminary. Other two not within the licensed range. (769-775)

(edit: or Hattiesburg....)

 

[INDY72]

OK so at least one of our missing links.. maybe two LWIN or mirrors.... Once they get the work on them .. I think the 163 will display the site info correct??? Or they get run through say Pro96Com.. we will get a more accurate picture...

 

[KE5TLF]

Hopefully I can get up that way this weekend and nail down some (or most) of those. Gotta go get a set of tires tomorrow before I go much further though. HEHE

Question regarding analog control channel in Natchez area

Milf can you look up freq. 792.98750 in the FCC database. The strangest thing, this frequency has been active for weeks now. It's a stand alone analog control channel. It's not a misread, it shows up on three different scanners. Given my location, it could be tied to the LWIN or MSWIN, or neither. Just curious, I am unable to pull any ID info from Pro96Com or any of the scanners. Any thoughts about where this may be coming from??? As I said could be registered in the Natchez area or the Ferriday, La area.....maybe even somewhere else

 

[INDY72]

LOL who needs tires.... Just kidding... I wish I could afford the newest toys so I could learn what all they can do.... Like what scanners show site aliases.. what scanners do Site ID.... I know the 96 does sysID and site ID... The 396/996XTs do alias etc....

 

[INDY72]

Has to be an TV tower thats not shut down.....there are No TRS or conventional 700 MHz analog systems...... 700 is purely digital.... Will give it a run and see what pops up...

 

[KE5TLF]

Pro96com only decodes P25 right? If it's analog try T88 maybe?
No matches found at FCC. Seems the norm for 700 MHz in general.

 

[INDY72]

No FCC records found MS or LA And as stated its an mandate that 700 is digital.. so its some sort of linkage.... Or an broadcast of some kind thats not part of iether the LWIN or MSWIN

 

[INDY72]

And the LWIN is easy to find heck its even in the basic FCC data for each Parish in our listings. LOL

 

[SCPD]

I guess the mystery will live on

 

[INDY72]

lol Its in the old broadcast range isnt it?

 

[SCPD]

So if it is a low power analog TV station, it would possess the charecteristics of data being fed on a channel, is that correct??

 

[INDY72]

To an point yes.... It might be an data like an paging chan.. Try it conventional and see if any tone shows... CT or DCS... It sure wont be an Motorola, EDACS, or P-25 in any of the US formats... And the range for conventional is the same as the TRS.. for repeater outputs.... 765-775 MHz... hanggg one.. it may be an input mirror as the inputs are in the 800-807 area.....

 

[INDY72]

Also are there any lp tv near you?

 

[SCPD]

No additonal info using any of those methods, do you know what TV channel 27 would translate to in the 700 mhz range. Trinity Broadcasting has a translator in the Natchez area broadcasting on channel 27, I bet that's where it's coming from.
