[FedCom] Who am I hearing?

Your 171.975 I believe has been discussed here before. I have it as the
VA hospital repeater in Montrose NY (KBO 789). I believe the input to
that repeater is 169.575 and it is used by maintenance types.

Abt the closest thing I have for your locale on 168.125 (r/o) is the
Army Corps of Engineers repeater at Goshen, CT. This is a maintenance
repeater with a repeater input of 163.025. It handles the Thomaston Dam,
Black Rock Dam, Colebrook River Lake, Hop Brook Lake, the Hurricane
Barrier and some other stuff in CT.

Your 162.2125 is one of the new 12.5 kHz splinter freqs and users have
yet to be determined. Would appreicate any updates you may have or get
on it as I have not seen any reports on that one in the past.

73 all and good hunting,
