Ameren/UE follows in the footsteps of Illinois Power in using a large network of linked Trunk Radio Sites. However, Ameren/UE selected Ericcson/GE's Edacs protocol to build its statewide network. This network also has two sites in Illinois & three sites in Iowa.

Very High... This Site is heard well into all of the surrounding counties, including central St Francois County, in Farmington.

My current project is to acquire as much LCN data for all the sites that are along the path. This path goes thru central Jefferson County on I-55 & Hwy 67, and also thru Central St Francois County on Hwy 67. I'm also thinking about taking some exotic routes to gather more data on the Ameren Sites in near-by counties. Some of these counties include: Crawford, Franklin & Perry. Something I've learned is that the designers of this state-wide network did NOT feel it necessary to place their site locations at the highest elevations possible. In fact, the transmitter sites are mostly in low or moderate elevation locations. The towers too are quite short in height. This would explain why they need so many sites to cover the Hilly / Mountain terrain of SE Missouri. A great place for them to locate the Park Hills site would have been where the St Francois County Police put their three VHF Repeaters, on top of the northeastern slope of Simms Mountain, which towers over everything near-by, cities of Doe Run & Bismarck, highways of W & 32 (Does not tower beyond Buck Mountain). They could have put a tower on one of the hilltops that surround Farmington. The only sites that I know of that are in great locations are these: Creve Coeur, High Ridge, Doe Run, Ironton & Crystal City
