StarCom21 2025 Official Thread

Seeing a new site 2-64 as a neighbor to the Normal site, control channel is 860.2625. Believe it's coming from Macon County as I can BARELY get a lock on it here on the east side of Bloomington and I'm seeing a lot of traffic from Springfield and Decatur talkgroups. Interestingly enough, I'm showing sites 2-1 (Argenta), 2-28 (Decatur North) and 2-36 (Decatur South) as non-active on the neighbor list and the frequencies I'm showing look like they've come from those sites. So far I've noted these frequencies in use:

851.3125 (from site 2-1)
851.8375 (was a CC for site 2-1, now just a voice channel)
853.9000 (Alt. CC) (from site 2-36)
856.3125 (Alt. CC) (from site 2-36)
860.2625 (CC) (was listed as a voice channel under both site 2-1 and 2-28)
860.4625 (from site 2-36)

Unfortunately can't tell a whole lot else, it's barely strong enough for Unitrunker and DSD to acknowledge there's anything there. I'm a little surprised I can get it at all.

NAC is 143. Site neighbors are 2-1 (inactive), 2-2, 2-3, 2-6, 2-14, 2-17, 2-26, 2-27, 2-28 (inactive), 2-29, 2-30, 2-34, 2-36 (inactive), and 2-63.

This would be a future site I listed one day previously. Either "Macon County" simulcast or Macon County West, covering into eastern Sangamon County.

Not only to help with Macon County, but Sangamon County is bringing all fire departments onto SC21, possibly this year.

This should have already been added to the database, but I don't see a submission for it. I just added it.

We need the site NAC please.

Hearing activity on TG 3877 (clear, no ENC). It's being used by Glenview Police and Fire, and I heard FD Ambulance 14 identify it as "Village Main".

Thanks for the report, TG 3877 has been added to the STARCOM21 database page.

I have not heard 3877 as of yet on site 149. I will keep monitoring.

Currently listening to TG 35954 coming over Cook South Site in the clear today and am able to confirm it's FBI Chicago Operations/surveillance through the Unknown TG ranges 35950 - 35962 since they are utilizing FBI terminology such as there CAST Team & the terms "Phase line green, TOC, & Bravo Team" where used on TG 35958 earlier this week
