More iNformation Re: [FedCom] List of unknown frequencies

[J Doe]

Ken,  I believe you have missed the point of this exercise.  Primarily
I was trying to get the group involved in exchanging information. The
frequencies listed have all been heard. The request was for anyone on
the forum to provide any information they might know about these
frequencies. For example maybe someone has monitored one of these
frequencies in their own city and has some information they can share.
Several have already shared their knowledge and a couple of the
frequency users have been ID'd.  It really isn't that important if all
of the frequencies listed are ID'd. The real importance is to get an
exchange of ideas and information flowing.  We have some very
knowledgeable individuals in this group and I would like to invite
them to share their knowledge with the rest of us.
