Have they moved to a new frequency? I used to hear them giving storm updates but, not any more on 159.15mhz. Thanks!

Still, no storm spotters activity or anything else on other emergency management frequencies? Anyone?

Good question. I used to use them as a reliable source when bad weather approached. Not any longer. I am aware of some complaints about the response during the flooding in 2008; I don't know if that's still an issue. They seem to me to be not as active anymore. I did hear someone keying up on 159.150 during recent storms, but heard no voice comms. I guess its possible they changed frequencies, if they have I am not aware of it. I

Yeah, I usually depended on them during tornado watches and warnings since I live in a mobile home. I hope I can find the new frequency if, there is one. I'd also, like to find the poplar bluff police tac. freq. but, it may be encrypted digital. Thanks for your response! If I find either, I will post them.
