EMT Ambulance (Emergency Medical Transport)
- coverage in Stark, Columbiana, Harrison, Carroll and Belmont Counties in Ohio as well as in the northern panhandle of West Virginia (as Tri-State Ambulance)
- EMT Ambulance website
The use Nextels most of the time but have a presence on various business repeaters in Eastern Ohio and also have some MARCS radios and operate on TG 64608 for the Belmont / WV areas because Nextel coverage is often poor in that area.
Stark Co area
463.500 / 468.500 repeater – 186.2 PL ( WPID690 – Staley Comm)
463.550 / 468.550 repeater – 167.9 PL ( KNDM503 – Domer Comm)
Harrison Co area
464.400 / 469.400 repeater – 532 DPL ( WPLW99 – Domer Comm)
Post 4: Perrysville
Post 5: Scio
Post 6: Adena / Pleasant Grove
Post 7: New Athens
When they are at a post, they are covering two stations.
Carroll Co area
453.6125 / 458.6125 repeater – 032 DPL ( WPXB519 )
Belmont Co / Ohio Co WV and Marshall Co WV area
possibly on TG 64608 – of the Ohio MARCS trunked system (per Mylan)
I believe EMT currently has some MARCS equipment loaned to them for testing, which is why EMT is showing up on TG 64608 (a DAS talkgroup). In hearing their testing, I’d think EMT will find the MARCS system to be very reliable for them. However, I’m not sure they would want to switch their whole fleet over to MARCS. I imagine they pay a lot less a month (and already have the radio equipment) for the various 400 Mhz business repeaters that they currently use. If EMT stays with MARCS to provide coverage for the Belmont Co area, you’ll likely find them on a dedicated talkgroup in the future.

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.

WHEELING – The halls of Warwood School will soon be safer as Wheeling Police and school officials have teamed to purchase 28 radios to be used by teachers and staff.
The radios will replace the existing method of communication, which Warwood School Principal Andy Garber said was actually three separate systems.

Those of you living in or monitoring Brooke Co might want to listen to this interesting conversation. This was heard on TG 155 of the Ohio Co P25 trunked system. For those of you that do not know, TG 155 on the OC system is Brooke Co EMA.
I won’t translate this into my own words since that may be construed as divulging information. Instead, you can listen for yourself.
NOTE: When you click on the link below, there wait 5 to 7 seconds and you’ll start hearing the pertinent traffic.
EMA1-TO-703
As of 1-26-2010 the Wheeling Public Safety trunked system has reverted back to its frequency configuration prior to rebanding.
They were experiencing communications problems for the past few weeks and finally took the system down for troubleshooting. When it came back online reliably, it was using the pre-rebanding frequencies.
Until further notice you should program your Wheeling Public Safety trunked system with the information in the link below.

It is now official. Air Evac will be relocating its local base of operations to Wetzel County Hospital. The Wetzel County Commission and Wetzel County Building Authority executed a lease with the emergency air transportation company Dec. 8.
Bradley Troy, Air Evac’s program director, said the company is excited about the move and they are currently in the process of finding someone to construct a needed hangar and helipad near the existing helipad at WCH.

NEW MARTINSVILLE – Concerns about noise, flight paths and even aesthetics filled the Wetzel County Hospital conference room Monday evening during a public meeting about the possibility of Air Evac EMS Inc. relocating from Ohio County to that facility.
The medical helicopter outfit has been stationed at the Wheeling-Ohio County Airport since June 2008. Company officials said the decision to leave that base stems from overcrowding of the market. They claim too many medical helicopter services are operating in the area for its relatively low population density.
