[FedCom] New Postal Service Freqs Springfield MA

[Ken Windyka]

Was getting some inteference close to the FAA VHF freq so put the scanner in
the search mode, discovering the following:

166.1625 Repeater (CTCSS 114.8)  --  Bulk Mail Sorting Facility
Springfield -- Outside Yard Operations (e.g. moving trailers to various
loading doors.

164.3875 Repeater (CTCSS 110.9)  -- Bulk Mail Sorting Facility
pringfield  -- Inside Operations (e.g. repair of mail sorting machines).

VERY Boring activity to monitor!!!!

Grove's Federal Frequency Dircectory indicated that no activity had been
heard on these frequencies.  Apparently USPS is using at least at this
facility.

They use to use 171.2625 Repeater as primary operations along with 162.225
simplex... in the 30 minutes that I search the band I didn't get any hits on
these freqs but perhaps they are the inputs for the new repeaters.
