Wood Count Fire Reception

[bigmac58]

Putting this out here to see if anyone else in or near Wood County is having trouble receiving Wood County Fire clearly. Seems like a month or so ago the signal strength has dropped significantly. I can hear Athens Co Fire much clearer. Also, the typical open repeater noise you hear, the few seconds of open air after they are done speaking, is no longer there. It's just mic on and mic off.

Where are you listening from? I am in south Parkersburg and have no issues hearing the repeater. Are you listening to 154.220 or another frequency?

Can confirm I can still hear it on a portable in Marietta. The repeater hang time does appear to have been shortened.

I’m in Lubeck. The repeater hang time for sure is different. They’ve made some changes I’m hearing. Listening on 154.220 and I can hear it but the quality has significantly dropped
