Re: 153.89 - some radio test

lets do a followup 10 years later

the most likely scenario imho was that 153.89 was used to relay
traffic from 158.85 back to the dispatch center

the only problem would be that a portable radio on 158.85 would need
to be stronger into the remote receiver site than the signal from the
dispatcher on 158.85 into the remote receiver site - (if the portable
needed to shout over the dispatcher in an emergency situation) -
otherwise the system would work great and there would be no need for
portables to manually switch to 166.25 when in a dead spot on 158.85
