STARS callsigns and location

[rvawatch]

Does anyone know the call signs for the Franklin, Cumberland, and Leigh Mountain towers? They seem to be the only ones missing from the database I believe. It'd be nice to get those in there so that people can get the lat and long for their scanners. Thanks

That can be found in the database. Franklin tower is either in Franklin itself, or Isle of Wight or Southampton County. Cumberland is in Cumberland County. Leigh Mtn is in Prince Edward or possibly Charlotte Co.

I have an excel file of the lat/longs that I use for tower sites in my GPS. Will try to upload tomorrow when I'm on my home computer.

Thanks ScanMan, got er marked in Goggle Map. Found the tower slightly north of fire tower back in the trees. I'll leave Dave a submission note in Database.
