What channels is OSP using for FAIR Operations

They have several talkgroups under District 5, they should be using those.

You might want to scan XLECOM1-8. I had an email from the MARCS helpdesk that those talkgrous are isolated for one specific county, but they didn't list what county, but I got the email on the opening day of the fair and they estimate it will last until the 9th.

Actually District 6….

In the past OSP has used the dedicated Fairgrounds talkgroups much of the time inside the Fairgrounds.

51772 - FairGrnd
51774 - Listed as an event channel but I thought this was parking lot?

Going to take a wild guess that 51773 is also in the fair range of TGs

Do they still set up one of the TOW's? If so one would need to have that site/system entered.

Last year OSP fair operations were on a TOW. See this thread:

Ohio State Fair 2023

OSP is once again using one of the sites-on-wheels for the state fair this year, but unlike last year it is the 649 system this time. It was opening day and a light crowd, so the system was very quiet. I did catch activity on XSCOMM17, which sounded like the main air, and XSCOMM22, which sounded...

I would think this would be a good place to start looking this year.
