OSCCR is not to be used above line A in the western Washington area due to Canadian licensee's... Guess they didn't get the memo... |

Line Eh? is a "great circle" arc which starts somewhere down on the Coast by Aberdeen (I think) I do know it splits right between East and West Tiger Mountains as it sweeps northeast from there. West Tiger is "above" line Eh?, and East Tiger is "below" it. |

Well then, we might consider that OSCCR is our version of Payback for the Canuck truckers who occasionally bleed into the wireless mics at Church on Sunday mornings near the I-5 corridor, . . . North of Line "A" of course. |

:horse: :chaingun: eh? Or Bremerton State?? Theres a church in Port Townsend that has roving mikes on LERN... Canadian stations take down one of my channels every week night due to simplex operations on my input across the water... I don't remember being asked if it would HIA me... :roll: But yep... I think I still have the letter somewhere about OSCCR. Even operations at Bremerton Raceway EVOC are in violation... You can't hear them that far north but still. |

Where's that yahoo from Indy when you need him? He'd read this and fire off letters to every cop, congressman and media outlet in the state, demanding they cease-and-desist using LERN. |

And I've heard when CHEK, CKVU or CIVT sends a sat truck down to Seattle or even Portland, they still use 700 MHz Wireless mics... |

The WSF ferry portables have OSCCR in channel 2 of their radios. Marine 68 is in slot 3. So, I suppose WSF just handed out some portables, and told them to use "channel 2, because we use channel 1 for operations at the port". They didn't know any better. Like most non-radio end users, they just did what they were told. I was there, and saw quite a few well-dressed people (read - suits from the head office) with a VHF portable. Speculation on my part. Just saying....... |

Or perhaps they signed MOUs with the Canadian Licensees? |
