Anyone else noticed Volker VHF frequencies silent lately ?
Not heard one beep on two weeks.

I have some comm's on the channels on Jan 27 & 28 in my recordings. Scratchy in my area (Volker doesn't operate too close to my home) but still readable as them.

Thanks Jay, I will continue monitor and search the bands in the event they moved to something else.

Volker Update:
It appears Volker mainly use VHF radios during snow clearing events. I found they use 151.665 multiple tones and 148.1350 tone 123.0
I'm monitoring another VHF frequency licensed to Cypress Communications ltd. that maybe a leased repeater in the area for Volker. The transmissions sound very similar to Volker crews in the area and only used during snow events.
stayed tuned !!

Yes, its shown as licensed for 151.6700 but not sure if the radio techs have it wrong, or IC
I also saw this frequency listed in the RR database for the Medicine Hat area.

This frequency was posted some time ago and I questioned it then as that frequency has no listing in TAFL for any license. It is close enough to 151.67 that a scanner or radio could pick it up on that frequency. I have 151.67 in some of my radios and have heard Volker here. The other frequency listed in TAFL for Volker is 173.88 up in Sherwood Park area.
