Towns Joining CLMRN or Just Noise?

[W1JOP]

I believe there were discussions on Waterford's system becoming part of CLMRN as others have done but for whatever reason it seems to not be moving that way. New London appears to be moving to CLMRN and they have been upgrading their radios recently.

in general CLMRS coverage is spotty an best in this area, so unless waterford would lease there radio site to the state to allow them on that system im not sure how that would work, unless if anyone knows if the state is going to put up a stand alone in the waterford area?

I would not say CLMRN is spotty in and around Waterford. I have a G5 pager on most of the day driving around the area, and I hit very few deadspots and those spots are very small in footprint. While my G5 pager may go out of range in some limited areas, actual CLMRN portables rarely if ever, hit a dead spot in the same place my G5 goes dead. DEEP uses the state system every day along the shoreline in Waterford, and CSP uses it all day on 95 and 395.

What are you using to monitor CLMRN that you find it spotty in Waterford? I am in Wtfd every day and live next door, so I am curious what you are experiencing that I am not.
