Yup! Just tuned in at 04:38. Glad to hear it back on. It's been part of my nightly listening routine for the last couple months.

I contacted Nav Canada, who referred me to CFB Trenton. This is the response I got:

Good morning,


Thank you very much for your message.

 
Please note that at this time we do not have detailed information about when Trenton VOLMET will come back. However, you can always tune in to Weatheradio Canada: Ontario network (Weatheradio Canada: Ontario network - Canada.ca) for local weather reports.]

When my daughter was a baby, we had a baby monitor that would receive and transmit all over the place. There was a Wendy's behind us and a Long John Silvers nearby, we got all of the orders, two meters we heard it. The thing would transmit a decent distance, I put the kid down for a nap once, said "I love you." and this old woman came over the receiver, "Delores, did you hear that? That man said he loved you!"

When I was younger there was some local guy that I met who had a two meter mobile rig. It had the Mars mod so it could transmit out of band. At the time all the fast food drive-thrus were in the VHF Business band and if you set in a parking lot long enough you could figure out the frequency for the headsets and the frequency for the drive-thru. It certainly provided some entertainment

They have a regional office in Dallas, maybe an hour and a half away

That sheriff's department uses the 155 MHz business band. Someone with a Baofeng or similar could have easily gotten into the repeater, but they would have had to program the offset and PL tones to purposely do this.

If Trenton, NJ had a VOLMET station, the voice would be a lot less soothing. On the other hand, it would've been a good way to immortalize Paulie Walnuts.

Charlie,

I hear that same noise too on some SDRs but not at home. I wasn't sure if it was just qrm of some sort

I'd guess just a technical error but I'm not sure how to confirm.

Edit - Just emailed an inquiry to Nav Canada. Maybe they can provide some information.

I heard them as recently as last week. I know they use another frequency around 15 MHz but haven't checked it. Gander is still on the air, so there's at least one Canadian station still active.

I used to live in pretty reliable about a week or so since I've heard them on 6754. Gander is still active but nothing from Trenton. Any ideas?

Going back through my SDR recording from last night. Caught "King of the Road" followed by voice ID and waterfall images then something that sounds like Black Sabbath (?)
