Roselle Park Fire 46.500

[RadioDitch]

I've been keeping an eye on my ProScan feed for any hits on Roselle Park Fire's low band frequency, 46.500. I've had nothing in a several months, including just a few moments ago when they went out for a careless cooking call. No tones, no dispatch, no fireground comms. Can anyone at all verify traffic on the frequency in the last 3-5 months? If not, I'll submit it for Depreciation.

Well that was popular 😂. I ran radio on autopilot yesterday. Search and record 45.xxx- 46.46. Ran 24 hours.

Not a peep. Not even Es skip. I suspect my antenna is deaf on low band.

I will give it one more 24 hour run.

I appreciate it. 99.9% sure the gear is either powered off or gone.

Been confirmed by a contact and by further observation. Depreciation for it has been submitted. And that's the final nail in the coffin of Low Band in Union County for Public Safety...

Well I learned not deaf on LB anyway. Suffolk on 46.46 at 08:00 w announcement and callsigns. Also Tioga County NY 46.26 PL 100.00. Both strapping. Not a waste.

Good to hear. I confirmed Plainfield's low gear is gone also. So...yup that's it for public safety low band in Union County. As per the famous sci-fi quote: "He's dead Jim..."
