Those are both Worcester Airport Talkgroups
185 is ORH OPS and 51 is ORH FIRE
Thank you.
They were both heard on the Logan system.

Re: Logan/MassPort TGs

TG 185 was just active with talk of an Alert 1 for an aircraft with a gear problem that was going to do a tower fly by. TG 51 also had some related traffic.

Re: Logan/MassPort TGs

Chatter on TG 31 referenced "running a sweeper on 29". It sounds like this is Worcester airport.

Re: Logan/MassPort TGs

TG 31 has been a bit more active but I haven't heard enough traffic to ID it.
Had a few hits of TG 167 which is another new one in the log from 2 nights ago.

Re: Logan/MassPort TGs

Thanks for the info on 195.

There was talk on 241 again this morning. Reference to Terminal C and the radio shop. So it looks like it may be Logan radio techs.

OK that explains the NWS transmission I had heard a few moths back. I never listened long enough to it to see if it ID'd so I had no idea who it was. I can't remember what the strength was previously but it's fairly respectable down here. Thanks.

Logan Airport TIS 1650

Getting my low band antenna in shape for the upcoming NDB chasing season and I found that MassPort has the Logan Airport TIS transmitter back on the air. It's been MIA for at least 2 years. WQBQ732 1650 kHz AM. Just transmitting the ID and brief terminal information.

There's a few pages on the net. Looks like a VHF Lowband receiver. Crystal is 7750 multiply that by 5 puts it at 38.750. Google Motorola Deluxe FMAR 13V.
Of course this all just a WAG from what I could find.
Have fun.

Seeing there is still an opening, I hastily programmed few southern Maine MSCommNet sites. I'm hearing Zone 1 Gray (Mount Agamenticus) and (Spruce Mountain) Zone 2 Augusta.
This is using a L-Com HGV-906 antenna at about 25 feet, fed with 75 feet of quad shield RG6.
