85xx
Bert, I have had 8550 but 85xx's are not in my notes. See if you can listen in and see who it is,

I haven't heard any of them in a while,so if one pops up again I'll try to listen to what it is(was eliminating all the wildcards I got so far,scratching off those that were in the database)
A Construction Notification was filed by SIRN for the Pennsboro site 8/27/2013. Although we can't go by these construction notifications to know for sure that a site is actually online, at least we can believe that the site is built out.
If your in the Pennsboro area, keep an ear out for a new control channel for Pennsboro. It'll likely show up as 1-015 (RFSS/Zone 1, Site 15).
9115 Pennsboro (RITCHIE) 460.5000 460.8125 461.6750 463.2375 463.9000 464.9250

1-041 Shinnston? (Harrison)? - ONLINE 9-24-2013
Another one. This might throw us all for a loop.
RFSS/Zone: 1
Site: 41
CC: 463.4875
AC: 461.6375
Clarksburg, Fairmont, Idamay, Salem, Pennsboro, Blueville and Mannington are neighbors
This is a site whose frequencies are licensed (as a trunked license) to Harrison Co Emergency Services, Shinnston being the site.
So I'm going to add this one as Shinnston. License was granted in 2012, and a construction notification was sent in by HCCS in 8/2013 indicating the site was built out.

Lawmaker requests Review of Tower Audit
CHARLESTON (AP) — A West Virginia lawmaker wants federal, state and local prosecutors to review an audit of a statewide microwave communications network.
A legislative audit released Tuesday said a $38 million expansion of the network ignored state purchasing laws.
Delegate Larry Kump has asked legislative staff to forward the audit to prosecutors to determine whether a criminal investigation is warranted.
The audit says the funding for the network expansion was part of a $126 million stimulus grant to bring the latest broadband and telecommunication gear to the state, where hilly terrain, low-income residents and other factors have stymied previous efforts.
The plan includes building 12 towers and refurbishing five others to fill a gap in the microwave communication system for law enforcement and other first responders.
The report says the state grant implementation team didn’t seek competitive bids for the tower project. Instead, they used a Lewis County Commission contract to authorize Premier Construction as the contractor. The county had hired Premier in 2009 to build one microwave tower in Roanoke.
State rules allow purchases through contracts issued by other public bodies, a practice known as piggybacking. But the report says state Purchasing Director David Tincher wasn’t asked to approve using Lewis County’s contract for the state project.
According to the audit, Tincher advised state officials to stop the towers’ construction but that did not happen.
State officials also skirted purchasing laws by taking federal funding and giving it to the county to spend on state projects, the report said.

Picked up talkgroup 9039 several nights ago. Operating in Berkeley County. Identified as "BATmobile" which is the States Blood Alcohol Testing Unit [BAT], not a super-hero car ! It is a vehicle on a bus chassis.
Caught Raldolph Co talkgroup 3927 last night,must've been a result of the train wreak up there,caught me by surprise seeing that...

I think I'll go sleuth some towers. I know of a couple. Good thing to do on days off.
