Got home an hour or so ago, the trip was rained out last night and we decided not to chance the weather again tonight.
(Sorry about the short list; I didn't have a lot of listening time.)

168.875- Motorola Control Channel- IWN?

171.6125- Motorola Control Channel- IWN? Very strong, S-5.

867.7625- Motorola Control Channel, IIRC there's some sort of state prison in the GH area, Stafford Creek?

460.375- Data

154.190- (127.3) Fire dispatch in the Raymond area. Simplex.

453.400- (110.9) Grays Harbor Transit (Not completely sure on the PL though). Repeated.

155.595- (82.5) Quinalt Tribal PD or game wardens. Repeater output, never located the input. I'm unsure of the useage, as I only heard game-warden-type traffic, but never heard a peep on the other Quinalt tribe freqs I had. Dispatch ID'd as "Taholah".

151.280- (DCS 465) Ocean City State Park rangers and maintenance, simplex.

154.235- (100.0) Fire dispatches in the Moclips and Westport areas. Simplex.

451.2250 (DCS 664) Quinalt Casino Resort. Repeated, security operations.

151.490- (P25) Simplex traffic, other postings lead me to believe this was state game wardens. Interestingly enough, the traffic was very strong as a small Cessna-type plane overflew our campsite. No P-25 radio though :(

154.310- (103.5) Fire Dispatches in Aberdeen. Simplex.

154.145- (103.5) Fire dispatch, possibly Hoquiam. Simplex.

================
Sheriff and police:
================

At first, I thought the two primary channels were divided into east and west areas. However, on further thought, they may actually be divided up as "sheriff" and "city pd" channels. I was hearing PD traffic from Ocean Shores (in fact, watched a traffic stop in front of our restaurant and verifed input/PL during) on one channel, and also hearing some traffic that turned out to be from the Elma area on the same channel. Bears further investigation (and a map next time Wil!). Dispatch identifies as "Harbor" and 99% of the field units were x-alpha-x(x) numbered. I heard maybe one or two units with 3-digit ID's, they got little traffic.

Anyhow:

155.565- (167.9) West or City PD's primary? Ocean Shores, Moclips and Elma traffic heard. Repeated.

154.890- (103.5) Input to 155.565.

155.910- (186.2) Secondary for West or City PD's...OSPD officer ran a name on this one in front of me. Seems primarily for info comms, and some C/C. Repeated.

158.910- (103.5) Input to 155.910.


154.725- (192.8 ) East or Sheriff primary? Possibly also Aberdeen/Hoquiam, as I heard traffic relating to both cities, including dispatched calls. Repeated.

158.850- (?) Input to 154.725. Too far from my location to hear well.

155.310- (192.8 ) Secondary for East or Sheriff. Info comms and some chat here. Repeated.

159.210- (?) Input to 155.310. Again, too far away.


155.790- (173.8 ) I have no idea who this was. It's a GHSO license, but the dispatch wasn't ID'ing as "Harbor" as on the others, and the unit numbering scheme was strictly 3-digit callsigns...Whereas all the other units were a digit-alpha-digit (digit) scheme. Locations heard were primarily on US 101....I have a sneaking suspicion I was actually hearing the Clatsop County, OR sheriff's department. Repeated as well (!). I actually think I heard some local area traffic on this one as well, but fumbling for the radio and driving, I hit scan and lost it.

Need to take a day trip out there sometime soon. Anyone have a sweet listening spot staked out? Looking for something on top of a hill, preferably in the Aberdeen area.

Also:

The ever-so-smooth, pimptastic listening post revealed!

With such a short list, why even bother posting it. No one I know collects faster than you. There was a guy in the old days, was his name Rich?.... Love to see the to of them go head to head some time, but I thnk that, that Rich guy is long gone.

155.790- (173.8 ) ELMA/MONTESANO PD

Love your disguise antenna that looks like a real cooler! :lol:

I still think maybe the traffic I heard was Clatsop County, as I heard frequent references to Astoria. At the time I thought it was a landmark or remote repeater site (like WSP calls their dispatch using repeater sites for best coverage?), but finding out that Clastsop County encompasses Astoria, OR, makes me lean towards that.

Also, US 101 doesn't run through Elma or Montesano, but does run through Clatsop County and into Astoria.

Another trip should help nail it down better...Maybe the small bit of local traffic I was hearing was Elma/Montesano?

Don't knock the cooler, it and those bungees have been all over the western US on that roof...From Vegas at 115* to Kremmling, CO at -5*.

:D

Hmmm...

How old is your unit numbering list, Jim? I know I heard plenty of 'Paul' units, including 2-Paul-22 working in the Hoquiam area, and 4-Paul-6 was the OSPD officer who stopped a car in front of me....Which also explains why he was at Station-4 a bunch of times.

I nailed the 'Tom' unit, as I heard 1-T-3 being dispatched to several traffic problems in the Aberdeen area.

Sam were likewise easy, and Adam units always seemed to be at "the station"...As in "1-S-3, call A-2 at the station". :roll:

Interestingly enough, the fire and sheriff unit numbering seems remarkably similar, as 1-P-16 was running traffic all over the highway around Copalis.

The sheriff unit numbers are probably 3 years old.

The fire districts I got out of the phone book down there last year.

Sounds like some changes have been made since I got the sheriff numbers.

That 155.790 freq is licensed all over Grays Harbor county but I bet
you are correct on Clatsop which I monitored while down there 2 years ago.

Did you get as far north as the Green Lantern in Copalis Beach?
They serve a good breakfast.

We spent about 10 years going down to that area when the kids were
younger every summer.

The 4th of July is great there on the beach and all the local freqs are very
active then with all the brush fires and drunks running off the roads. :lol:

Nah, we went no further north than our campgrounds just north of that 'Z' curve at Ocean City (1000 Trails 'Oceana').

Damn you . Where were you a month ago when I went out there and couldnt pick up Ocean Shores to save my life? :lol:
867.7625 is Stafford Creek. Driving through I picked up TGIDs - 32, 64, 608 and 768

It was dark and I was drunk.

Wait, different story.

Thanks for clearing up the Stafford Creek one for me, if I go back soon like I'm planning, I'll target that as well.
