[Scan-DC] Pike Electric of Mt. Airy NC Utility Crew

Wed, 24 Sep 2003 10:46:42 -0700 (PDT)

I passed their trucks on Thursday evening as I was
going home, northbound on I-270 and then west on I-70.
 They, of course, were coming East on I-70 and South
on I-270.
I was impressed by the amount of trucks.
I wondered about who has to worry about radio
inter-operability when a power company comes to a
different area.  Do they use the "hosts" radio
frequencies or do they use their own on a non
interferring basis or itenerant freqs?  Or, does the
host just basically, throw them a handheld and that's
what they get?

On Wednesday evening, I passed a large convoy on
ASPLUNDH (sp?) trucks.  For a private company, they
sure had A LOT (around 150 +crews) to spare for the
hurricane.
What does ASPLUNDH use for frequencies and radios?
Thanks,
-Shawn
