Does anyone have a CURRENT frequency list with channel names or codeplug for Irvin Works?
The database is outdated and has NONE of the conventional frequencies.

Thanks for the help,
Dave

You should take a look at the licenses for USS within a mile of the facility. You should pay attention to FB / FB2 (simplex base, repeater) as well as any MO -- since I am sure there is a lot of simplex activity and it can occur on the FB / FB2 and MO freqs. Some of these licences have multiple locations on them. WPOY591 is the LTR system.

KD48053 (United States Steel Corporation) FCC Callsign Details (IG-UHF) - Irvin / Dravosburg
WNRV622 (United States Steel Corporation) FCC Callsign Details (IG-VHF-UHF) - Irvin / Dravosburg
WPDH724 (United States Steel Corporation) FCC Callsign Details (IG-UHF) - Irvin / Dravosburg
WPHR341 (United States Steel Corporation) FCC Callsign Details (IG-UHF) - Irvin / Dravosburg
WPMK971 (United States Steel Corporation) FCC Callsign Details (70mhz-UHF) - Irvin / Dravosburg
WPMQ513 (United States Steel Corporation) FCC Callsign Details (IG-UHF) - Irvin / Dravosburg
WPNU328 (United States Steel Corporation) FCC Callsign Details (IG-UHF) - Irvin / Dravosburg
WPOY591 (United States Steel Corporation) FCC Callsign Details (YG-UHF) - Irvin / Dravosburg

And of course any simplex activity is likely to be extremely low power, with a lot of it in-plant. You may never hear a word on them.

What are your old frequencies so we know what is new?

Everything in the RadioReference database. They no longer are trunked. As stated in my original post... None of the conventional frequencies are listed.

Sounds like you are going to have to search them all out by yourself. Of course, that poses a question -- once you do figure out any changes / new frequencies, are you going to submit them to the database so the next guy who comes along can benefit? I only ask because if things truly have changed, nobody has submitted any changes yet or the database would be updated. We don't update the database based upon FCC information -- we update based upon submissions of confirmed data.

So in this case either you are going to do the leg work to figure out the changes, or nobody is -- based upon the fact that nobody has yet :)
