Winter 2008-2009 Snow Plows

[mondaro]

Hello Everyone...

It is approaching that time of the year again when the road crews will be active clearing snow and ice once again. I would like to hear everyone's favorite road department channels they monitor during winter storms.

This year I need the confirmed frequency for Palisades Interstate Parkway and road crews for the NYS Thruway. As always... THANK YOU !!

Hello...

Can someone give me a tip for Morris County, What towns Road Department do you think I could hear down here in the Newark area does any morris county towns road department operate off a repeater besides the county TRS system. I use to listen to morris county road department when they where on a high band repeater and boomed down here years ago.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Tony,
As far as i know, i don't think any DPW / Road Dept. is on a repeater, except Roxbury Twp., which is located in western Morris County.

FYI, MatthewPD, yes Netcong does have a DPW, who's numbers are 570"s not 2800.

mondaro,

You're looking for the New Jersey frequency, correct? This is a New York Region 8 office of parks, recreation, and historic preservation frequency.

Scandal...

Hello... New Jersey or New York will do for the PIP.

Thus far I have 37.94 by EJM and 156.105 PL 151.4 submitted to me via email.

Anything you have or suggestions would be appreciated. For the thruway does the

plows talk on the same operations channels for road service and police ?

Thanks

Tony

Can someone confirm a PL for roxbury roads, I have 131.8 and 179.9.

Thanks

Tony

 

[SCPD]

John@wc2em.net has a PL of 179.9 for Roxbury Twp.

Tony,

Roxbury's DPW channel is not very high power, in fact it doesn't even cover well in the township.

Randolph DPW is on a repeater as well and it is actually rather good listening during the storms (although sometimes they don't shut up). "900" is the garage, "901-904" are supervisors, anything higher are plow/salt trucks. They announce such as "912 in for a load" so if you listen enough, you can judge how much salt they are throwing down.
