While monitoring some weak lowband on 1/18 19:30, I hear Berkeley Heights in Union county NJ conducting a duty tone test for the rescue squad. Now what a treat to hear some old school VHF low during January! Knowing the test would end with an ID, I was anxiously awaiting for that ID. After a search I find the ID was UHF during the earlier years of this current decade and is currently expired.

(0:36)
Signals received in North Carolina (EM95).

That's awesome sir! I was picking up 33.82 and 33.74 8pm local time on Jan 16 in my truck. I think 33.82 was Calvert Co, MD. I'm in Houston!

You guys just made me turn on my low band scanner, I forget it so much. I have a BCT 15 hooked to a 6 meter ringo antenna and has always worked great. Now its on and will stay for a few weeks.

Best QSO I ever had was while working for the Highway Patrol. I was in Chattanooga and talked with Car 211, a California Highway Patrol Officer who was making traffic stops and setting on the Golden Gate Bridge!

At the time both our agencies shared a VHF Low frequency in the 40 MHz range.
