While they were finishing up at Woodhaven I overheard somebody say “you can go now” on their frequency which led to a bit of confusion with the crew.Saw this a while back if they are using GMRS radio's they don't have there own channel! If they are using other VHF then they still could be on GMRS channels. If the RR is using GMRS then each person needs to be licensed and not that of the RR, and they need to transmit there call signs. They can NOT use Ham to transmit anything!
I’m gonna guess the locals are behind this. Many of them carry Baofeng walkie talkies which are capable of transmitting on frequencies that railroads and Air Traffic Control use. It’s why Lakewood EMS encrypted their radio channels.
