Just took at 2-day vacation doing some hamming along the Blue Ridge Parkway & Afton Mountain--but also some scanning. All sorts of fun things out there with deer season in full swing.
Crazy big use of marine radios. Hunters using Ch 10, 11, 68, 71 & 72 in Nelson Co. Hunters in Northumberland County asked (presumably by VMRC) to get off of Ch-17 because it was exclusively for law enforcement. Two minutes later a request by the Coast Guard for them to 'clear their traffic' from Ch-16. (gotta love those mountain tops!)
Heard 145.125 in use along the Nelson/Buckingham line near Norwood & Wingina, and on Coast Guard-only marine channels including 157.125, 157.15 & 157.075 in the vicinity of Scottsville & Howardsville. Can't remember those channel numbers, but maybe the users think that numbers up in the 80's are safe, unused territory.
Now you'd think that with five freqs and 38 tones of MURS available, no one would need to go there. But MURS is very busy in that part of the state. Constant, brief digital bursts on all 5 MURS channels made it impossible to monitor them because they kept locking up the scanner.
If anyone does 2m packet in the greater Charlottesville/Lynchburg corridor, I'd love to know if you can get anything from these transmissions on 154.57, 154.600, 151.82, 151.88 and I think 151.94.
In other news 155.6175 [$200] parallels 155.865 [167.9] in Nelson County. Input to 151.37 [127.3] Buckingham sheriff is 153.7625.
