Oregon State Radio Project

I took a drive over the Willamette Pass today and did some DSDPlus investigating of the Oregon State Radio Project. I located Site 9 with the strongest signal near Willamette Pass. DSDplus data below for Site 9. I have submitted it to the database and has been entered.

Site: 9.9 NAC=009

Neighbor: 9254A.00A-6.6 ; OSRP - Quarry Hill (Lane, OR)
Neighbor: 9254A.00A-31.31 ; OSRP - Walker Mtn (Klamath, OR)

What is quite interesting to me is site 44. Site 44 popped up with a very strong signal in Oak Ridge. Site 44 is currently listed as being in Corvallis. I strongly doubt that I would be receiving a booming signal in Oak Ridge from a Corvallis site. The Neighbor lists supplied by site 44 also leads me to believe it is somewhere along the HWY 58 corridor. Can someone in the Corvallis area see if they can still receive site 44? DSD data for Site 44 below.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate a specific FCC license to confirm site locations.

It's quite possible, depending on where you were at. I've gotten some good hits up there where radio signals just flow right up.
Only one of those frequencies, 774.78125, is licensed in Oregon. Unless it falls under this blanket one:

ULS License - Public Safety 700 MHZ Band-State License License - WPTZ796 - State of Oregon

Walkers a decent site from Chilquin to La Pine on 97. It does affiliate Bend area and ODOT and OSP. I only heard Klamath fire pages related to that county, which may be multicasted only from VHF.

Could one of those sites be Wolf Mt. While looking at licenses for the Silke stuff I saw that ODOT and OSP have VHF at Wolf, perhaps there is a 700 site there too?

I agree with jeremym70... No recent MW applications for Oregon; nearest state microwave is at Wolf Mtn MW site. 43.6166, -122.2309.
