Are you sure it's 2488 ? The Ohio Co Simulcast on BCFY Calls has not seen that TG ever. Granted, the Ohio Co Simulcast won't always hear all Marshall traffic. But still.

Site 1.23 back online at 1:04 pm


TG 9996 - WV Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management System Site Technicians - Ch. 1 (Watch Center) - was busy on Berkeley County site 1.7 during the down time, talking about a power failure and the generator for site 1.23 not kicking in. Radio ID 91578 was Watch Center. I have also noticed Radio ID 91579 in use by Watch Center during past incidents.

For whatever reason TG 1555 is patched to TG 9986 on site 1.7 Berkeley County . This started about the end of April but I forgot to post at that time --

New Pocahontas Co SIRN site license:

Pocahontas County Commission - YG
Marlinton, WV (Pocahontas)
2000 Thomastown Rd (better to use the lat/long below)

WRYJ775
38.22788, -80.07783

460.100
460.125
460.2375
460.375
460.4375
460.575

No tower there yet. No FCC ASR registration for a tower as of yet. Site elevation is 2546'. Either they will eventually file an ASR application for a tower or they are building a tower 200' or less.

Based upon SIRN minutes, they have been searching for a site location for some time. So chances are that nothing has been built yet and that the site location was found/procured in the past two months.

Interestingly, a couple pending apps for the Marlinton site:

One to the existing WRYJ775 license:
- adding 155.295 and 155.97 (I've seen entities piggyback conventional repeaters on a trunked license before)
460.100 FB8
460.125 FB8
460.2375 FB8
460.375 FB8
460.4375 FB8
460.575 FB8
155.295 FB2
155.97 FB2

And a new one, same Marlinton site:
154.19 FB8
154.2125 FB2
154.1375 FB2
155.8425 FB2

Make what you will of that mess. Both licenses are trunked licenses. So you'll just have to see how it shakes out.

  • 1. Thank you. So DNR (at least some) are going to be on SIRN. Makes sense.
  • 2. Interestingly it says there is a new site online in Hanover WV area (Wyoming Co). I'm not aware of a license (prob uses Lauttamus paging freqs) or tower (no new SIRN sites in FCC Antenna Registration search so it would probably be piggybacked on an existing AEP or cellular site)
  • 3. Talk about turning PAX 2.30 into a 3-site simulcast cell hmm.

If there is anyone within listening distance of the Panther, Mountain View, Welch, Saulsville, Kopperston or West Logan sites who can run DSDPlus or Unitrunker and get a current list of site neighbors (and their associated control channels) from as many of those sites as possible and post the details.

Thanks, Harry. And very glad to hear that you are still here :) I'm doing well my friend. Hopefully all is well with you too.

Keep an occasional eye out for any new neighbors on the sites you are able to monitor that would be neighbors of the "Hanover" site.

I believe I remember in one of the meetings that they were going to start utilizing the dispatch channels from the centers that were consolidated to try and free up some traffic use on one channel. I know the Fairmont Dispatch never stops there is constant usage. I believe they were trying to eliminate some of that. Possibly switch it up again but it still goes to Fairmont's Center
