Exercise Caution!!! Re: [FedCom] 167.4875 Mhz Providence, RI

[Gil woodside]

No, no, no... I would never do "on scene" during an operation. I know better 
than that. I was taught that at an early age. I have family who work in the 
Law Enforcement field and conduct such operations. And I also in the public 
safety business for a Goverment Agency. Thats why I don't usually give out 
specific locations that are heard. I will reply to =Z= with a personal 
email. He's familiar with the Providence area.
  On another note, that repeater puts a HUGE signal into Kent County Rhode 
Island. I can hear it on my handheld inside the house with no outside 
antenna.
  Thanks to the group and all who were concerned about how much info was 
posted. I'm sure everyone here will take heed in it.

Thanks,
   Gil
   Central RI
