-----------------
Bonus point questions -
Any chance that Oxnard City, Burbank, Arcadia, Monterey Park, or Glendale presently use 153.83 as a Tac channel with a local PL?
Does Los Angeles County FD use 153.83 countywide or just in specific battalions?
IIRC 153.83 is available as a Statewide Tac with PL 0.0 - can anyone confirm that?
You can see that some of these licenses show 'first use' going back 40 and 50 years - so there is some history here.
Anyone know if LA County FD ever used 153.83 as a primary tac channel? Maybe in Station 51 days?
