[FedCom] Fed Skip Activity Springfield MA Area

[ken windyka]

Well I brought the 780XLT to the office this morning and noted just after
0800 hrs local the following activity, which in almost 8 weeks of daily
monitoring (about 5 hrs of specific federal frequencies scanning &  2 hours
of searching (162 - 174, 406-420 mhz ranges)) have never shown activity
before today:

414.30 (CTCSS 167.9)  Constant Data Signal (not a constant tone as in
transmitter link)
414.75 (CTCSS 82.5)  Keyed transmitter (sounded like a repeater) a few times  
415.05 (CTCSS 107.2)  Technican dispatch of some sort.
418.35 Trunking System Data Channel

Within 1 hour all of this activity disappeared.

Well back to my lone area monitoring project!
