Site 332 (Betasso?)

[mpg0515]

This might have already been discussed, but I am getting site 332 on 868.950. Its not in the database. Did this go on the air recently and where is Betasso located?

Ok, found that it is in Boulder County and that there has been some discussion. But did it just recently go on the air?

And we all thought it would have a 700MHz control channel, good catch Mike.

No one is showing a new neighbor, yet at least.

Not much of a signal footprint to the N.E. up here. Very weak as a matter of fact.

The site must have been lit up today as I have had the CC freq in my primary bank for work and nothing heard on it yesterday.

Good catch though kinda weird since they will be moving the site to the new range in a matter of months.

Very weak here as well and is actually more of voice channel and getting interference from that.

Mead is now showing it as a new neighbor.

It is really strong here, that is why I was wondering about it. Thanks for the confirmation guys! The only TG that I have seen pop up in the couple of hours of logging was CSP-6C dispatch.

Speaking of logging, watching site 322 700Mhz the last few days and the 10 available frequencies are almost full at times with mostly Weld and Adams County agencies and a few CSP radios.

The VC intereference is coming from the Franktown site.

Good catch, Mike! I've added it to the database.

Strong north of Ft. Collins, eh? Cool...

Can anyone enlighten as to this site's physical location? Above Boulder Canyon perhaps?

Thanks!

Allegedly it's at the Betasso water treatment plant West of the city of Boulder in the hills.

For whatever reason I would think that I would have a fairly decent signal at home but it's almost non-existant. Could be the array is semi-directional. For what it's worth the signal footprint for Mead and Gunbarrel sites are horrible as it is.

Then again nothing in the Boulder area is normal.

Thank you. Not exactly the highest point around, but should serve the mouth of the canyon well...
