listening to the channel (461.45 PL 107.3) for a while - we can
confirm that Boston Med Flight is using this radio channel for
dispatch of Boston MedFlight helicopters - and for enroute comms with
helicopters - and for coordination of all medevac helicopters that are
operating in and out of the Boston area - such as DHART and LifeStar
and Worcester LifeFlight
messages heard include - switching over to CMED - switching to UTAC 41
direct - etc - apparently the aircraft typically have just 1 UHF radio
both the helicopters and the dispatcher are transmitting PL 107.2 -
have heard both with my own 2 ears via my radio - unknown if any other
PLs are used - such as on Cape Cod or in Plymouth County - typically
we only seem to hear the helicopters if they are within 30 miles and
to the west or north
pilots are IDed as "Med 13 Pilot" or "Med 1 Pilot" etc
dispatcher IDs as "Ops" iirc
