Stratham, NH dispatch and frequencies

[pss]

Stratham VFD is no longer dispatched by Newmarket. As with the police, fire is now dispatched by Rockingham County on Seacoast Fire (154.190). Stratham also uses 154.085 in fire, police, highway, and other town departments for interoperation.

Anyone been listening to their interop channel within the past hour and a half Tuesday the 12th? Maybe I missed a major call and all Stratham units changed to town, but when every unit calls in, they are calling "dispatch," and I'm not hearing an answer. I barely made out command on one call, must be the OIC operating on his portable. Is the OIC answering as dispatch or is the signal weak? 44E3 is out with a 2 car MVA, unknown location, 44E3 could barely copy the initial call as well.

I was not monitoring at the time, but I think they were conducting a drill, and therefore probably operating on town.
