Tonight I received a river report for the Cumberland River in Tennessee I am assuming on 155.7525 and it was off frequency and it was on an interop frequency so I am getting a bleed over from either Army Corps of engineers or US Coast Guard. It seemed to be about river markers and such. I was wondering if anyone could point me to the actual agency that might have been coming from and an actual frequency to listen to those comms. I only caught a few seconds of their transmission?

Any help would be appreciated

As far as I know only USCG does the navigable waterways condition reports. River levels, beacons and buoys, locks and dam info if anything new, contact info for bridges, locks etc.... I used to monitor daily on the Mississippi River when setting up fishing trips if I was going to navigate part of the river crossing from inlets to oxbow lakes etc. Plus any large changes in conditions affected fishing. 157.1000, 22A.

Great thank you I thought it might be 157.1 but wasn't sure. I will give that a listen.

You could have also been hearing a repeat on the local Public Safety VHF of the 22A broadcast as agencies that do Swift Water Rescue, and have Dive Teams etc., might do that to have situational awareness as they put boats in the water. (Like how FD's and EOC's doing HazMat, and DNR Fire/Forestry will do NOAA reports for wind and mixing height conditions.)
