Chris I agree with what you posted, it was in one of their meeting minutes for the service area. I really don't think they have good funding in ANY area and need to be very careful on any expenditures. The low band system worked ok for them for many years and I'm guessing they got some grant money f...

Both "YANKEE" & "RHODY" with likely use their command post frequencies for air/air and air/ground (drop coordination). Even with lead aircraft talking with ATC, the aircraft following also monitor ATC and respond accordingly to leads instructions usually on the ATC frequency.

Most (if not all) of ANG Barnes radio nets are now encrypted (definitely security, fire, alert maintenance. I know some vehicles do have the VHF Aero Ground (121.7) they use BUT I'm not sure if the fire department chief uses that to coordinate with the tower on any response OR tower simucasts on ATC...

An interesting monitoring target would be the long range remote piloted vehicles that both the USAF & USN utilize. The Air Force uses the MQ-4B Global Hawk and the Navy uses the MQ-4C Triton.

Well fishing season has started again so 159.435 Repeater is fairly active at the Quabbin Reservoir not only for maintenance operations but also for ranger coordination with the three fishing areas that can get quite busy at times with fishing enthusiasts. Also gull patrols can be heard on a regular...

So does anyone ever use VHF simplex any more or is everyone just using low powered portables via the repeater. In the Springfield MA area, a simplex emergency net is held every Wednesday around 2000 hrs local on 146.42 (not .52), so amateurs can check out how well they could operate if all the local...

Just wanted to make the point that monitoring 157.45 page/dispatch alert and 154.9125 Repeater always has a fair amount of radio activity on it for the Brookfields, New Braintree, Hardwick, Barre, Warren, Brimfield, Wales, Holland for fire/rescue and emergency medical services. It's very interesting...

It appears that E PATROL talk groups have disappeared and the various other troops in place are doing the dispatch. In the central MA area it appears that C10 is doing the dispatch for TP. It's too bad since before one could listen to one talk group for the majority of the turnpike. It will be inter...
