Land units from AA and QA counties have been placed in service. Given the time in the water and the distance of the fall it was decided that no EMS units needed to remain at Sandy Point State Park. AA County FB 61 and 35, QA Boat 1, and DNR and USCG to continue looking.

Baydog,

Did NRP use their 155.37 freq - or another one? Anything on 151.205? I'm still trying to clearly sort out how their new channel-plan is structured.

 

[baydog]

I was hearing DNR 3xx units with Tawes on 155.37.

Great - thanks. I'm going to try to dig up that somewhat recent thread on NRP freqs and see what consensus we can get on the bandplan....then aim to get out database better updated.
