1) Location: Dyers Bay is located in the township of Northern Bruce Peninsula in Bruce County Ontario, between the hamlets of Ferndale and Tobermory.

2) Coverage: This tower covers areas to the north of Wiarton, south of Ferndale (Hwy 6 & Co Rd 9) coverage weakens. Due to the heavy vegetation and rocky terrain you can be very close to this tower and not receive it. A good antenna is advised.

  • All radio activity on tgs 8224, 8352 and 8400 has been patched. It is essential to enter in all of these talk groups in order to listen to the activity.
  • Bruce 6 Romeo units cover areas on the peninsula. There are 3 detachments:
    • Wiarton (South Bruce Pen)
    • Lions Head (Old Eastnor Township)
    • Tobermory (Old St Edmonds Township) Tobermory’s office is seasonal).
  • South Bruce 6 India units cover Bruce County. Detachments are in Walkerton and Kincardine.
  • North Grey 6 Lima units police areas of the county not serviced by local police departments such as Hanover, West Grey and Owen Sound. Detachments are located in the following communities:

    • Meaford-Located on Georgian Bay in the eastern part of the county.

B) Activity. You will hear more activity for 6Lima and 6India units as there is a larger full season population. Most of the 6Romeo activity is centered on the Wiarton and Sauble Beach areas.
