Back on April 27, 2007 I posted about a VHF digital repeater system that I heard the US Fish and Wildlife service using in the coastal Georgia area. After doing some research and listening to the system more, I'm convinced that it is used by the Savannah Coastal Refuges Complex. This complex of NWRs is spread out over a large area and the linked repeater system enables them to have better communications both within and between the individual NWRs within the complex. It is comprised of seven National Wildlife Refuges that stretch from Hilton Head Island, South Carolina to Darien, GA including Pinckney Island NWR, Savannah NWR, Tybee NWR, Wassaw NWR, Harris Neck NWR, Blackbeard Island NWR, and Wolf Island NWR. Headquarters for the Savannah Coastal Refuges Complex are located in Savannah, GA.
So far I've heard four sites for the system, although there could very well be more. At this point, I've only been able to identify one of the sites, the one at Skidaway which is closest to Savannah.
