West Central Texas COG?

Was looking at FCC stuff to pass time and came across this..

WQYV960 (WEST CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS) FCC Callsign Details

I'm curious to know more, and glad that it doesn't appear that they're going the digital route. No field bases though? I'm new, be nice!

I saw that when they applied for it a while back. The license is for simplex vehicular repeaters and hand held radios to talk to the repeaters on the same frequency.
Probably something like
Vehicular Repeater Products - Pyramid Communications
or
https://www.motorolasolutions.com/e...ular-repeater-system-dvrs.html#tabproductinfo
You would not be able to hear them very far and all you would hear is whatever the mobile radio was receiving at the time.
I could not find any information about radios or repeaters on the WCTCOG web site but didn't look very hard.
Maybe they got a grant to give them out or maybe they just got the license so each county could use the frequency if they bought them.

Thanks for the info and explanation. I'll keep an ear open and if I hear anything of interest I'll post it here.
