Re: [IRCA] [Amdx] 1640 unID - TIS possibly from Ohio

[Russ Edmunds <amfmdxer@xxxxxxxxx>]

The three tones and a female voice indicate PA DOT or PA Turnpike. The calls are WPUV623. This is a PA DOT
series of transmitters located respectively at I-80 exits 16, 18, 19, & 21 in Clearfield, and exit 22 in Lock Haven, as 
well as one on I-80 in DuBois. There's not any way to know which one you heard but since I hear no echoes of that 
audio, it does appear that you heard only one.

One could, I suppose, plot the lat/longs given on FCC against elevation, or check elevations from the exits on I-80 
and pick a most likely based on distance and elevation, but that's about all you can do.

BTW, I have 4 local 1640 PA Turnpike TIS stations, all running the same loop, but none in synch with the others as 
to timing and all using the same calls. This is in part contrary to what the FCC's records show for calls and locations,
so either the FCC data isn't accurate or the Turnpike isn't operating with ID's associated with FCC records. Take your
pick.

 1640 on Oct 22 from Burnt River ON:
 
  Starts off with what is WQDY411 Strongsville Ohio. Looped
 TIS mentions Strongsville Library at 440-238-5530,
 Strongsville Historical Society at 440-527-0057 and 12205
 Pearl Rd. “You’re listening to 1640 AM...” This was
 new here. Voice is male.
 
  This seems to fade at 1:00 of the clip, and a woman's voice
 comes to the fore. She IDs with WQ-something and I hear
 something sounding like "Youngstown." I don't think this is
 the same station, but maybe it is. I am wondering if anyone
 can make out the calls she gives.
