Brooke Co Schools

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.

Brooke Co going digital? Read this

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.

If you look at all of the licenses, there are more frequencies on the licenses than are listed here. I’ve only listed those that are confirmed by me. Keep in mind that although there is repeater activity on the frequencies above, they are also used in simplex mode. So if you are really into monitoring WSX you should certainly plug in all frequencies from all licenses. Also, there may be multiple users with separate PL tones on the frequencies.
