Could be. That antenna length would be about right for a quarter wavelength antenna used on the P25 VHF frequencies (153 MHz or so.)

I just heard game commission traffic here in Monroe County. Not sure what site it originated from, but I monitor Mt Pocono, Stroudsburg, Dingmans Ferry and Albrightsville. They were assisting PSP with a man barricaded in his house.
I copied a radio check on a new talkgroup, 12152 on Site 75 (Devault, Chester County). Sounds like my or their radio broke up on the first transmission as the only identifiable info I was able to copy was "Delaware Valley" Audio clip here
Update: wiki has it as possibly being National Guard, looks like it was previously heard encrypted on another site last year

PANG was an educated guess.. We just don't know what it is yet... Nice clip 
Here's a list of potential users (but not limited to) on the new system, and what is known if anything..
Here's a list of potential users (but not limited to) on the new system, and what is known if anything..
- State Police (PSP) (TG's 10001-11000?) PSP still utilizes VHF as a back up option to the OpenSky system
- Transportation (PennDOT) (TG's 11001-11930)
- Game Commission (PGC) (TG's 12001-12099?) PGC is in the process of migrating to the PA-STARNET system for dispatch and operations. Lowband is still being utilized in some regions. WCO's also continue to operate on county radio systems in some areas
- Legislative House Security (TG's 12100?-12109?)
- Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) (TG's 12110?-12120?) Some WCO's have been issued OpenSky equipment. However, most WCO's continue to operate on county systems and/or PFBC lowband equipment
- Legislative Senate Security (TG's 12121?-12129?)
- General Services (DGS) / Capitol Police (TG's 12130-12139?), (TG's 12140?-12150?)
- Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) (TG's 12301?-12600?) PEMA maintains a deployable cache of portable equipment on both UHF and VHF
- Conservation & Natural Resources (DCNR) (TG's 12601?-12750?) VHF system linked to PA-STARNet
- Turnpike Commission (PTC) (TG's 12825?-12850?) Comms are still primarily on their VHF network
- Health (DOH) (TG's 13081?-13190?)
- Environmental Protection (DEP) (TG's 13401-13450?) Some bureaus and offices still use the DCNR VHF network
- Attorney General (OAG) (TG's ?)
- Corrections (DOC) (TG's ?) Still primarily on UHF/VHF
- Homeland Security (TG's ?)
- Inspector General (TG's ?)
- Military & Veterans Affairs (DMVA) / PA National Guard (PNG) (TG's ?)
- Probation & Parole (TG's ?)
- Public Utility Commission (PUC) (TG's ?)
- Non-state entities:
- Area Transportation Authority (TG's ?) (regional transit provider in Cameron, Clearfield, Jefferson, Elk, McKean, Potter Counties)
- FirstEnergy Corporation (TG's ?) (used by field technicians of some subsidiary electric utilities in PA)
- Huntingdon County Sheriff's Office (TG's ?) (used for dispatch and operations)
- Regional Counterterrorism Task Force Radio Caches (TG's ?) (equipment distributed by PEMA for emergency response use)
- Warren County Public Safety (TG's 20000 -20016?)
Also caught radio test counts on TG-13403 on Sites 75 (CHES02) and 91 (PHIL02) about an hour ago from UID:1354076. Perhaps Department of Environmental Protection?

TG 12152
South West Veterans Center to Headquarters for radio check . also SE Veterans Center for radio check.
RIDS 1130100 Head Quarters
1130104 South East Veterans Center
1130106 South West Veterans Center
others 1134093
1130101
1134094
note: on these other RiID's they would use some names of VA Centers but I couldn't make the names out.

So perhaps the "Delaware Valley" they were referring to in my above capture was Delaware Valley Veterans Home? UID's seem to match the scheme hundeesport mentioned:

Well, that’s annoying. I am not copying any of this traffic from the Philly or Devault sites. The only thing my recorder keeps grabbing is PGC, even with wildcard enabled. Hmmm....
I haven't caught anything new on that TG for 3 hours

So I played the RID recording back and RID 1130101 is Delaware Valley Veteran Center. The TG 12152 seems to be a Statewide TG. Maybe each Center has their own, we will have to wait and see.
Have been receiving Dingmans Ferry (Pike) as well.
Did this sound like some sort of conference call ? I had what sounded like a conference call on PennDot 11651. The audio was terrible, extremely low and garbled. Lasted ~30 minutes
I caught a radio roll call on TG-12152 which would confirm it's a statewide veterans home talkgroup, headquarters to the 6 statewide veterans homes
What is Site 75? I don't see it in the DB. Thanks.
[head smack] Sorry.
Test transmission heard this afternoon about 5:37 on TG 10089 Global Tac 11 on Site 82 (Willow Grove MONY02). No idea where it originated from. Only audio was reference to this being a test and counting. Repeated several times as time went on.
