St. Lawrence County VHF

[MegaHertz315]

Is there anyone in the North Country that can confirm if any of the frequencies listed below are being used in St. Lawrence County? None of these frequencies found in the FCC database are posted in the RRDB.

154.370R
154.845R
155.025R
155.130R
155.317R
155.580R
153.9950 (simplex)
155.5350 (simplex)
156.2250 (simplex)
159.0000 (simplex)
159.1950 (simplex)

154.355 (Fire Dispatch) is only showing 1 remaining active County license, with a tower in Massena and Tupper Lake (Franklin County). Everything else licensed to the county on 154.355 is expired. The input frequency isn't even showing any active licenses for the county; only Ogdensburg FD.

155.115 (Sheriffs) is showing only 4 local PD licenses, no active County licenses (expired).

Fire 2 & 3 (154.250 & 154.265) are only showing active licenses for Ogdensburg FD. County license (WNKG573) expired in 2023.

Now, I do understand that St. Lawrence is joining the CNYICC P25 system, but I am surprised to see the county has let so many licenses in VHF to expire, before the UHF system is even in place. I also see several licenses pending termination.

Anyone in the listening area able to provide some details? Particularly on the frequencies listed above. Did they make any VHF changes, prior to the near future UHF upgrade?

Only the three legacy Fire Channels (1,2 & 3) are active, as well as County Law Dispatch (155.115) no others. Yes the license for the main high profile repeater site (WNKG573) has expired as well as the others you cite. One simple reason… lack of/poor oversight of the licenses, plain and simple.

The new VHF channels were simply grabbed before a final decision was made with regards to a new radio system and commitment to join CNYICC.

I hope this helps.
