Port Authority of Allegheny Co (PAT) – Buses
453.300 / 458.500 repeater – 192.8 PL ( WNWW689 )
453.500 / 458.500 repeater – 192.8 PL ( WNWW689 )
Port Authority of Allegheny Co (PAT) – unsure of use
453.75 / 458.75 repeater – 192.8 PL ( WNWW689 )
I scan UHF constantly. Strangely enough I don’t ever remember landing on these frequencies before. But tonight they are coming in pretty well, or they are more active as usual and I’m just getting some hits.
Heard references to Arlington, South Side, Josephine, etc on 453.500. Just monitored dispatch talking to a bus having trouble with lights on 453.300. Heard activity on 453.75 but unsure of what they are doing. I figured I’d listen to them since there are multiple frequencies licensed under WNWW689 and I was hearing traffic on others.
Will continue to monitor.

Various Brooke Co Schools frequencies. All are repeaters with the inputs being 5 Mhz higher at 459.xxx Mhz.
454.550 PL 107.2 Brooke Co Schools Ch.1 (repeater, input 459.550)
454.400 PL 123.0 Brooke Co Schools Ch.3 (repeater, input 459.400)
Discovered in early March 2009. Staff themselves called those Channel 1 and Channel 3. Channel 1 is predominantly used by IT staff.
461.925 PL 141.3 Brooke Co Schools – buses (repeater, input 466.925)
Discovered in early 2010.
454.05 PL 107.2 Brooke Co Schools – unsure of usage
This is another repeater, input 459.05. This frequency is shared with the Chester area Lauttamus LTR system. On here i heard mention of Johnson / Steele / talking about Follansbee Middle School and looking for the bust of some president that was used during a Gettysburg Address presentation.
Given that Ch.1 and Ch.3 are already accounted for, my guess is that this is not designated as Ch.1 or Ch.3 in their radios.
Frequencies added to RRDB around the times they were first discovered.

463.250 PL 162.2 IDing as “KF8YF repeater, PL 162.2″
I think this guy is a tech at a radio shop over in Hancock Co. That doesn’t explain why he’s got a repeater IDing with a ham call on a business frequency. Good grief.
This transmitter is so strong from my location that it can be heard without an antenna on the handheld and is full scale even with the attenuator turned on.
A new licensed was issued by the FCC for Ohio MARCS. This license covers the existing Middle Point,OH (Van Wert Co) site as well as the new site in Florida/Holgate, OH (Henry Co).

Aerial Solutions – contractor for AEP
AEP is doing their spring aerial trimming, contracting out to a company called Aerial Solutions.
151.505 is the frequency that is in use for this tree trimming. They have been very active in the area this week. If you’ve got nothing to do, give them a listen.
NOTE: 151.505 is often used by Air Evac Lifeteam dispatch. I haven’t heard them the past few days while the tree trimmers were in the area, so perhaps Air Evac has halted using that frequency while the trimmers are in the area since they do have other frequencies licensed in the area.
