Yes, another log thread - only this time its only from less than one day of monitoring and from Church Hill in Richmond (a high elevation point). I know a lot of these have already been IDed.
Lots of 152.xxxx school repeaters popping up now. 152.300 is a mess when Yellow Cab transmits at the same time as the HCPS repeater. They're certainly making use of the 7.5 kHz "split" narrowband channels. I know there is heavy use of CTCSS/DCS and the equipment being used by the systems themselves are a bit more selective, but adjacent-channel interference/QRM was rampant, especially in the 152 MHz region with all these active repeater systems.
464.500 [162.2Hz PL], 467.900 [167.9Hz PL], and 467.925 [71.9Hz PL] were all incredibly active with construction and crane control related traffic. Lots of mixed Spanish/English comms. Somebody (presumably a supervisor) would call somebody in English and they would respond in Spanish. I have noted this on 451.8125 [452 DPL] in the past as well. Some of the construction supervisors clearly speak Spanish nearly fluently to be able to switch back and forth with such ease. It seemed like both 467.900 and 467.925 were used by several different groups or teams at the same construction site.
