Now that the Alaska Incident Management Team has taken Aspen Acres, have fire ops moved to NFIC freqs, or are they still on DTR?

 

[UAT_978]

im still hearing traffic on MAC 11 and 12, but not nearly as much as before. Seems to be more perimeter access type traffic.

Anyone know the nationwide seven hundred megahertz talk groups they're talking on

What exactly are you referring to? I would say there is an extremely high chance most of the fire-related traffic is on the Federal VHF band, likely including several command repeaters and additional simplex channels, as assigned by the NIFC folks for the incident.

From the little monitoring I've done, I would concur with an earlier comment that usage of Regional MAC channels seems to have diminished over the last week, likely due to NIFC command repeaters being brought online.

Ok

Update: I had a chance to do some monitoring recently for this incident, it was like listening to a small city. Here are the freqs I could identify:

132.4 - Air Attack

169.75, 146.2 PL- Command Repeater (appears to be the only one).

172.4375, csq: Air-Ground Primary

172.65, csq: Air-Ground 2

167.0625, csq: Air-Ground 3

166.6625, 97.4 PL; "Crew"

167.625, no PL: likely a Tac ch.

168.25, 146.2 PL [NIFC Tac-6];

166.775, 146.2 PL "Tac" [NIFC Tac-5]

166.725, unconfirmed PL: NIFC Tac-4

168.6, 146.2 PL [NIFC Tac-3]

168.05, 146.2 PL - NIFC TAC-1

166.2375, 110.0 pl - likely a tac ch.

172.1375, 146.2 PL - likely a tac ch.

166.325, 110.0 pl - unconfirmed use

163.7125, 100.0 PL; Pike/San Isabel Work Ch.

For Aspen Acres the Regional MAC channels are no longer in use. Traffic Control points (presumably by the National Guard) are all on Pueblo County MAC (TG 4310). Given how people referred to certain channels, I suspect that different divisions have different Codeplugs. I say this because at least one if not multiple of these channels are called "TAC" by the users, despite there being many tac channels overall. Also I suspect I didn't get everything, if I had more time I probably would have captured even more.
