Cherokee National Forest appears to have changed frequencies. I live near the English Mountain repeater and I have heard zero traffic. Ive been scanning federal band looking to see if something has changed with no luck. Anyone have info on this?

Could be that everyone working for NPS has been DOGEd ...

The employees of the Cherokee National FOREST, do not work for the NPS. They work for the U.S. Forest Service. The layoffs affected about 3,000 employees of the U.S. FOREST Service and that would not be enough to silence an entire National Forest. Public safety employees (fire/law enforcement) were not part of the 3,000 employees laid off. Public safety is at least 75% of the radio traffic heard on USFS nets.

I just got a document yesterday that might list the Cherokee, but I'm not sure. I have a couple of appointments I have to get to, so I won't be able to look until this afternoon.

I have a couple of minutes before I have to leave for my appointments. The Cherokee NF has gone digital. The document I have does not list English Mountain. It lists the following

172.3750 Contact North (Pinnacle)
169.9750 Contact North (Greystone)
169.9250 Contact South (Oswald)
169.9250 Contact South (Waucheesi)

The receive side of all these listings is NAC $F7E
