These are believed to be patches of some sort so that other agencies or other zones, such as MSP in the central and southeastern parts of the state, can monitor the eastern Massachusetts groups. Any further information would be appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This page updated 12/03/1997 by Tom Swisher, WA8PYR. Back to the State Listing
