Windsor WFCU Center & Spitfires

[tilt404]

Last night while scanning some unknown frequencies, I heard a weak signal on 469.2625 with a PL tone of 146.2 and sounded like it was coming from a hockey game taking place at the WFCU Center in Windsor Ontario between the Windsor Spitfires and Owen Sound.

I'm not into sports so what I heard didn't make sense to me but the person was reading off names of players, their numbers and city they were from. Saying who was up next, as if to replace the next penalty or something. Sounded like it was coming from one of the teams or someone tied to the game, not the arena so much. It wasn't an announcer. Sounded more like someone talking to team coaches or something.

About 12 listings come up locally on industry canada's site when I search that frequency here, but none relate to sports or an arena as far as I can tell. One does list Kelcom though.

469.26250 Comes back in the database as Dynamite at Devonshire Mall but it uses a DPL tone. What you were hearing sounds like audio from the staff atCogeco TV. It is odd.

That one is in RR here but from industry canada there are 11 more. TRQSS, extended care southwood lakes, sunrise senior living, winery, country health village, butcher engineering, kelcom, gap, kautex textron, bird packaging, target, old navy...

Cogeco would make sense in a way since it sounded like someone was in the box or something telling someone else what to know or say on tv or radio. Since one was kelcom in the list, they could be renting the radio to someone like cogeco i guess through contract. I had to open the squelch all the way so they were inside something like a arena and or using low power.

That frequency was the default in a lot of el-cheapy Motorola portables. I hear a balloon team on it every fall.

I'm guessing it's used between the score keeper and the PA announcer.

Thank you Mike,

Sounded like what you said. I'm so sport dumb though so was hard for me to tell. : )
