2022 Texas A&M Forest Service active frequencies

[Myles]

With wildfires raging in Central Texas (especially Eastland Complex), has anyone confirmed use of frequencies used by aircraft for firefighting operations? Texas - Texas A and M Forest Service Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
Anyone in the Abilene area can create a feed? Would be interesting to listen to.

There was a big fire a few miles west of Wichita Falls over the weekend. If there was an air attack plane in the area I never heard it but two SEATs from Childress made at least two trips that I heard. TFS crews were using the usual statewide channels. Except for 122.925 I don't know if the aviation listings are still current.

I heard a couple weak P25 transmissions on 151.385 but wasn't able to decode to it in time to figure out what it was or if it was real.

TFS aircraft are on 125.375 and the other usual channels in the db.
