Frequencies for MO DNR (MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES)

[stlouisx50]

Does anyone have the list of "MO DNR" (MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES) Frequencies?

I was out at Cuvier River State Park and heard their radios, which sounded like the sound of MO DOT's system with the key up "like" sound their radios make.

I had the scanner but it was in the car of course. Thought they could be neat to listen to.

I live in the Weldon Spring Area and hear the Missouri Dept. Of Conservation but they do not sound like MO DOTs radio sound.

I have found a few of these frequencies on my own by doing a proximity search here on RR.

First, find the approximate latitude and longitude of the area of interest.

In the case of Cuvier State park, I entered "Lincoln county, MO" into a google map search.
Once I spotted the state park on the map, I used the "LatLng Tooltip" tool to find the latitude/longitude.
I obtained the coordinates of 39.029, -90.923.

I then did a proximity search using these coordinates and changed the range to 4.0 miles, which is the maximum value.

The results can be seen here:
FCC Callsign Proximity Search: N 39.029 W -90.923 Range: 4

You can then look down the list below the map and find the licensee of interest.
In this case, there are 3 call signs associated with the State of Missouri, with a total of 4 frequencies.

151.175, 153.875, 155.07, and 155.370 (point-to-point)

Keep in mind that there could also be additional frequencies being used if there are no base stations involved. A good example of this is a Park Ranger. They communicate on the regular low band highway patrol channels when doing license checks, etc, but also have access to VHF hi band frequencies, including the park operations channels.

With the exception of 155.07 and 155.370, I would say the frequencies are most likely used by park maintenance crews, and to coordinate campground operations....vacancies, reservations, etc.

5 years ago.. when I lived in Missouri, all of the parks in a region normally used the same frequency for park ops. With the district office having a higher power transmitter that could hit most stations. There are 6 state park regions. They are used (as was said) for all park ops. Events, maint, security, camp.

The rangers can be heard, as someone else said, on the SP frequency, and also local and state channels. In the park they normally go by their short number (IE: Ranger 27 or 27) on LE and SP channels they went by a prefixed number I don't remember right now.

Here is one FCC license for the Lebanon Region to give you a place to start.

Thanks guys, I found the 2 mentioned just last night. I typed in "State of" and got State of Missouri. Department of Natural Resources popped up. Sure enough I was near troy today and got a strong signal. However nothing that I could understand to verify which park they were at or even if it was park rangers at all.

Theres a roster on the Park Ranger program link... it will give you unit numbers you can match up to the parks and such. Get a start there. Usually the base goes by the park name i.e. "shut in's" or something like that. Sorry I cant help much more, I havent been around MO in a long time.
