[FedCom] 164.8125 MHz

[John Wilson]

   It is USPS trucks.  USPS appears to be using this as a new frequency 
for vehicle mail delivery/collection activity.  A few years ago USPS 
installed a repeater near me in Petersburg, Va. on this frequency, pl 
203.5.  Infrequent comms basically are to local small size mail 
collection trucks.
