[FedCom] Central MA ? loggings

[Chris Parris]

Looks like you picked up a few I can help with...

>>>
165.235 (also 165.24???) - busy at times, law enforcement related, "India=
"
callsigns
       including "One India One Hundred", "India one three eight I am wit=
h
India one
       eight eight", "Alpha one seven one"
<<<

It's 165.2375 mHz - That's US Customs, now part of the Bureau of Customs =
&
Border Protection. The ALPHA and INDIA callsigns represent different
operational groups within Customs, but I don't have my list handy to be
sure. I think INDIA units are Inspectors...

>>>
165.375 - "This is Boston...can you copy Nelson?", mention of aircraft,
"Timberwolf
       Command Post, Boston..."
<<<

This is US Secret Service CHARLIE channel.  TIMBERWOLF is former Presiden=
t
Bush, who must have been visiting the area...

>>>
167.565 - simplex surveillance, all along MA Pike
167.76 - loud and clear voice heard twice
<<<

Most likey 167.5625 mHz and 167.7625 mHz, both FBI allocations. =


>>>
167.975 - NOAA weather heard once, delayed about three seconds behind wha=
t
was on
          162.55
<<<

Wow - weird. Can't say who that might be...

>>>
415.05 - "...zero on channel five", only one logging ever on this freq.
<<<

This belongs to the US Postal Inspectors, usually as a secondary channel =
to
414.750 mHz

Good luck and keep scanning!
