ANF off the air or frequency change?

I live near the Angeles National Forest (ANF) and have a dedicated receiver for ANF Forest and Admin nets. I haven't heard anything on either channel since around last Thursday (8/17). The radio checks out fine and has normal RX on other VHF channels and I've parked another (known good) scanner on these channels with the same results. ANF usually has a fair amount of radio traffic, especially on the weekends and I would have expected even more after last week's hurriquake.

Was there a frequency change, system outage? Anyone else notice this?

I've got the dispatch channel for ANF, LPNF, and SBF in my scanner and I hear traffic on there. I'm pretty sure I've heard the daily fire weather forecasts on the ANF between 4:00-4:30 or so a few days recently.

This weekend ANF traffic seems pretty "normal". ProScan shows 460+ "Hits" on ANF Forest since yesterday AM (its late AM Sunday now). Didn't have the scanner/software running overnight.

Since you mentioned it, last Sunday did seem on the quiet side, especially with Hilary dumping all that rain on us.
