FM Radio Station Being Installed for Highway Patrol in Athens
An FM short wave radio station for two way communication between state highway patrol cars and the Richland Ave sub station near Cambridge is being installed and should operate in about two weeks. The system will relay messages from substation to Cambridge for car to car and headquarters dialogue. The new 250 watt transmitter will expand patrol reach across Athens Meigs Gallia and parts of Jackson and Perry counties with several patrol units and motor cycles assigned to the substation. The project involves the Columbus & Southern Ohio Electric Co and local state patrol engineers.
