11:AM 33.94 PL 114.8 rolling in full quiet squelch here in Greenville, SC. Using BC-780 and MAXRAD MLB4000 on base adp. 20' I have the complete low band for this area PGM'ed and looking forward to a good day of scanning. Good DX to all. Larry

Nice catch, Larry. 33.94 114.8 is Hyannis Fire, a simulcast of their actual operations frequency of 868.2125. All lowband FD activity here on Cape Cod is a simulcast, primarily of talkgroups on the MA State Police trunked radio system, where most of our FD's are for full time ops.

Have fun! If I can help with any ID's drop me a note.

Very cool! Keep us updated.

I figure the band opening came as the edge of the storm past the area. Skip time was short. Usually never hear them in Winter-Usually all summer. My low band scanner is PGM for MO, MISS, NEB, for summer, and CA's 39 & 42 for winter. Got everything ready for winter season including an extra low band Channel Master 5094A. Good DX to all.

What is the furthest you have ever recieved on your scanner Larry?

During the last sun spot peak, 11 years ago, I logged military operations in Europe. Cant remember who it was but I've got the list I made buried around here someplace. Most likely the next peak in another 11 years should give us lots to hear. I figure from 2012 thru 2023 should be really good. Good DX to all. Larry
