A couple of years ago my wife and I's good friend and now former Radio Reference member "Paysonscanner" put together a list of the Air to Ground frequencies in a table went channel by channel showing the dispatch centers and indicated if the frequency shown was primary, secondary and tertiary. She managed to put everything on two pages, front and back. She forwarded the spreadsheet her late husband used when he originally put this together 10 or more years ago, but never shared.

She sent the spreadsheet and told me I'm expected to continue putting it together. If people are interested I will put it together and post it here in the federal forum. It looks like there are a lot of changes with some dispatch zones being issued a fourth frequency now (Quaternary). These dispatch zones are located in the Eastern, Great Basin, Northern Rockies and Southern Geographical Area Coordination Centers. I think this document will have to increase to 3 pages.

The information I have on these frequencies is solid. For the first time I remember the VHF AM or victor frequencies are included. There is no way I'm going to organize those frequency by frequency, it would be better to organize them dispatch zone by dispatch zone. This will result in a duplication of frequencies, but looking the frequencies according to the area might be more useful than listing them by frequency.

I'm wondering it the same method might work better for the air to ground frequencies as well, rather than listing them by their national name.

If this doesn't matter to anyone I don't need to take the time to update the previous versions. If people would like to have a short, concise list of these frequencies put into a table that won't take up much room, then I will try to assemble them. If so, I would like some feedback on the format, in an area, then zone then the frequencies in that zone, or by National Air Ground channel number order.

EDIT: I also have a list of ground coordination VHF AM tanker base frequencies and might possibly be able to produce a document (all will be PDF) so that people know where tanker bases are and what ground coordination frequency they use.

yup
If you post the info in a spreadsheet format, you can sort everything in multiple ways.

I can easily make a database via Google Spreadsheets if you can supply a text version or a comma deliminated or tab deliminated file.

I would love to have a list of frequencies like that for the eastern half of the U.S., including the ground coordination tanker base frequencies. A spreadsheet would be the most efficient way for me, but any list would be much appreciated.

That would be a blessing for many of us if you continue with this endeavor. Thank you, the simplest way for you is fine; as long as the info is there people will find it. I have corresponded with Mrs. "Paysonscanner" before on the subject of USFS radio, and sincerely hope she is fine; I am a bit unsure if you mean she no longer contributes to RR or perhaps it is something else altogether. She is a fine person and loves America's wildlands.

The RR Wiki is where this should be built, then it can be easily updated as new information is found

I have to apologize as it looks like I won't be able to complete this project. I may not be able to complete any other submissions to the database and the wiki either. Some unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances have been presented. Other priorities must now be addressed. Sorry!

This makes a great deal of sense. I've written several pages in the wiki, but it went incredibly slow. The wiki is incredibly user unfriendly. Given what I posted in my previous message it looks like I won't have the time to struggle through it. I just can't justify the time I'm spending on this site for the foreseeable future.

@es93546: I may not have much time either, but I'm pretty good with Wiki Markup Language if you are having trouble converting things to tables, formatting, etc.. I've done a fair amount of that on Wikipedia.

I hope you're okay. Be safe!
