Zone 5

I think I have Zone 5 of the Massachusetts State TRS figured out. April 2015

Info from FCC ULS and the Internet

--------------------------------

Zone 5 covers the Greater Boston area - including Suffolk County,

Essex County, Middlesex County, and Norfolk County.

Zone 5 uses 10 channels - 854.0875 - 854.5625 - 854.6125 - 856.0625 -

856.7125 - 856.9625 - 857.7125 - 857.9875 - 858.9875 - 859.7125

Zone 5 uses 9 sites - Essex - Georgetown - Andover - Chelmsford -

Framingham - Wrentham - 1 Ashburton Place in downtown Boston - Turkey

Hill in Arlington - Blue Hill in Milton

Zone 5 is covered by the following radio licenses - WNMJ500 - WPFF425

- (and WQBC488 for below ground apparently)

---------------------------

More Info

The Ashburton Place, Turkey Hill, and Blue Hills sites also

have the Zone 1 channels - so you might say that these 3 sites are

shared between Zone 1 and Zone 5

Some of the online info at scanner websites is incorrect

apparently (some freqs dont match the info that I dug up at the FCC

ULS)

854.0875 is also used in western Mass - as is 856.7125,

857.7125, 858.9875, and 859.7125

857.7125 is also used on Nantucket Island

The other Zone 5 channels are not licensed for use anywhere

else in Massachusetts

857.7125 is licensed as a MDT channel at Mt Grace in Warwick in

Franklin County (WPVC338)
