The chopper went down just east of my location. While looking for
some activity related to the incident I found the Colquitt County
Fire Dept being repeated on 148.500. At first I thought it may have
been image, so I switched to my service monitor. I received the
signal on my service monitor also. Also the CFD freq had a PL output
of 179.9 and the 148.500 freq had no PL. Everything I heard on the
CFD freq of 154.445 was being simulcast on the 148.500 freq. I am
thinking when the teams from Hunter and Ft. Rucker arrived they must
have brought in some type of commo center with the capabilities to
provide some type of inter-operabilty between military agencies and
the local civilian agencies Can anybody confirm this? Link has been
active as they continue to investigate the accident. Us locals are
being kept way back from the scene, my guess due to the very real
danger that the 1000 ft tower that was damaged my fall.
