43.3200 MHz FM  [074 DCS] Slurry Pavers - Richmond, Virginia (local) d074 DPL 074 - KZI481

Lots and lots of CHP coming in, 39 MHz and 42 MHz very busy.  Some signals were full scale, sounding like locals.  Others had some very dramatic QSB / fading going on.  Nothing noted on the 44 MHz/45 MHz CHP frequencies.  Also, it is nice to confirm that Slurry Pavers are still using 43.32 MHz [074 DPL] as of February 2025.  Lots of activity on that frequency (heavy construction, road construction contractors).  I included callsigns / license information where available.
