Since Preble County is a rather rural county; its' primary economy is agriculture. Without most of the urban sprawl that is in some of the larger surrounding counties; Preble County does not have the crime rate the larger counties have.

Need help with identifying if these are used by these local government agencies:
154.085               Camden & Eaton Local Gov'ts - I've heard Eaton Wastewater on this; but nothing for Camden
159.120               Dixon Twp (WNLV611)
159.120               Monroe Twp (WNAM476)
159.180               Lanier Twp (WPKM894) - I have a PL tone of 167.9 on this frequency
154.040               Lewisburg, Village of (WQAX922)
151.130              Twin Twp (WPGH333)

Note: You also might want to plug 146.640 (W8OK) into your radio when monitoring severe weather. This is the Dayton chapter of Skywarn and can get pretty exciting to listen to at times when rough weather rolls through the area.
