Scan New England

Bucks County PA Fire 155.5500 123.0

FM band is open down to DelMarVa.
96.7 WCEI Easton, MD coming in with "Cathy on the radio"
and New York is coming up strong too.

Scanner VHF is open strong into Long Island/CT Coast.

FM band is getting better that way too.

154.8150 141.3 Southampton NY "PD-2" (Records)

Well it seems to be dying off some here.

Probably a good time to call it a night here.

155.4900 94.8 Manasquan, NJ
155.1000 D664 Upper Townsp NJ
155.8800 D172 Spring Lake, NJ

A couple more from earlier.

I chatted with Jeff earlier who was hearing FM quite a ways south as well.

This is fun, so far. Will probably go another half hour before I call it a night.

155.4900 94.8 Manasquan, NJ
155.1000 D664 Upper Townsp NJ

And here comes NYC
476.6625 100.0 Bronx 50,52 PCTs
476.9125 151.4 Bronx 43, 45
482.01875 136.5 Brooklyn FDNY

476.8625 D132 CenterReach Fire

I tried the chat, but no one came in.

So here is what I got so far...

154.3100 118.8 Atlantic County NJ FD
154.8450 151.4 Wall NJ PD
154.7325 218.1 East Lyme PD
154.0625 206.5 East Lime FD
156.1200 186.2 Groton CT PD
151.1900 179.9 NJ DEP/Park PD
154.4300 192.8 Campden County NJ FD

Conditions are building up very nicely right now.

Southampton NY PD is blowing the doors off my receivers right now. (154.845 156.7)

Both Southold PD and Southampton PD both in on VHF, very clear in the last half hour. This is sticking around some!

FM Band is open through to NYC.
WALK 97.5 from Long Island coming in HD in the car.

Not hearing it as much on the scanners here.

Welcome to Scan New England. Please note that all new registrations are fairly carefully "hand inspected". The registration process is not automatic. I go through all the pending applications on Saturdays! If you applied and have a dire need to get on sooner than that, drop me an email. w1kne -at- s...

We actually link to the official NIFOG PDF from the front page of the wiki.

Look on the right hand side, under "Useful links".

No need to recreate what has already been documented!

Good suggestion.

Update to this thread.

Also if you applied for membership between June 01 and today, you will need to reapply.

Thanks!

Nope. Two different receivers, and using IFX. It's real. It sounds like it may be simulcasting a P25 system?

Not strong, it sounds still very fringe. Southern Accent too.

Thanks to the RR Forums. 39.300 D632 is Pulaski County, VA Sheriff.

46.06 PL 97.4 - Perhaps Cumberland County PA

Yes that is them. Nice Catch!

I've been sitting on this one, since your post with ZERO luck... Could it be a local UHF Image ? as I had a few winters ago from a 460 DPW being heard on 39 Mhz and chased my tail for months, till we heard a local address. :D Nope. Two different receivers, and using IFX. It's real. It sounds like i...

42.38 173.8 MO-DPS Willow Spring still going on, despite being "Delisted" from RR.

Got a call sign heard for 33.900 KDP455. Read a tone of 203.5, but this radio is sometimes prone to falsing.

33.900 203.5 is the (old?) Plymouth County Control.

KDP455 33.900 is MUSKINGUM, OH, which is where a lot of the DX has been.

Then there is the mystery 39.3 D632, which keeps popping up, with no traffic. However I did hear one brief transmission with a male's voice on it.

33.90 CSQ Noble County, Ohio
33.56 CSQ Lancaster, PA

33.86 77.0 Washington County, MD.
33.98 CSQ out of Youngsville, PA, complete with audio of the siren being activated in the background.

33.82 141.3 from MD coming in.
42.06 203.5 from MOSP also in fairly clear.
42.12 203.5 from MOSP

Happy Independence Day from Scan New England!! Hope everyone has a nice, safe, and quiet one!!

We all could use a day off. (I get one at the end of the month...)

On June 04, 2020, I imposed a "new membership" restriction based on the current events. Starting this weekend I am going to be slowly removing this restriction. All new registrations are going to be thoroughly vetted prior to being approved by the administration team. Thank you for your immediate un...

On another vein. this goes to show that Nearfest, is in fact, "optional".
