Terry Colgan also sent along some information regarding lists of VHF
stations that are published. These lists are divided into different
sections (e.g., Business, Fire, etc.) and are arranged variously by
states-towns and by frequency. However, they do run at a substantial
cost (i.e., $25 and up). For more information contact:
Arcata Communications Information, Inc.
665 National Press Building
Washington, DC 20004
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Though a little late for the summer Es season, here is a list of the
primary dispatch channels for state police in the 42-MHz region.
42.02: GA, MS, IA 42.48: MI
42.04: NY, WI 42.50: IL
42.06: MO 42.52: NC, IL, NY
42.08: IA, OH 42.54: CA, ID, WA
42.10: SC, WV, RI 42.56: CA, IL, NC, OH, TN, MI
42.12: CA, MS, MO, WV 42.58: IA, MI
42.14: ME, NY 42.60: IL
42.16: CA 42.62: NC, PA, RI
42.18: CA 42.64: KY
42.20: MO 42.66: WY, MN
42.24: CA 42.68: MI
42.28: CA 42.72: CA
42.34: CA 42.82: MN, WY
42.36: NY 42.84: TX
42.38: MO, ND, WI 42.86: VT, VA
42.40: CA 42.88: OR, UT, VA
42.42: IN, TN, OH 42.90: TX
42.44: CA 42.94: NV, OR, UT
42.46: CO, NE
Whenever space permits, similar lists will be run for 37 and 39-MHz.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
By the time you read this, the first signs of the fall F2 should be
coming. I doubt that transcontinental MUF's will reach above 40 MHz
many times this winter.
