>From family homestead at Pt. Judith, RI, regularly heard NH SP Troop B, if recall correctly, near Manchester Airport & occasionally Concord, but not Troop F transmitter on Mt. Washington. When driving in NH, heard most lo-band SP's. Vacationed for years at Balsams in Dixville Notch. Hotel didn't mind shot of coil wire discretely hung from high room window, great sigs from all over, daytime copy of WABC 770 & WQXR 1560. KCA 999 on 156.09 well heard throughout NH while driving. This mighta been what I heard from Providence, OCT '68, ca. 1800 KHz? If not them, another PD identifying qth as NH. Didn't consider it remarkable at time, as lacked knowledge on subject, also my Nova-Tech Pilot II tuning scale had 'police' imprinted in range, so figured set was working fine. BC-200XLT w/telescopic whip or regular duck antler pulled NH SP Troop F Twin Mountain, transmitting from Mt. Washington w/ease, along w/Troop E Moultonboro, and several others, while up in Dixville Notch. Reportedly NH SP has switched to VHF Hi digital, after dismal foray into 800 megs which didn't quite take to mountainous terrain. Didn't quite see need to shift from lo-band, nor did troopers I asked about it some years ago, during Troop F tour. As w/many rural RI & CT PDs, NH SP did/does regular police work in rural areas. z pvz mk fl
