I found em....... I drove up to Desert Rd in Dismal Swamp (to the Incident Command Post) and sat right up the road (about 50 yards away). Took a while but they are on 169.785 CSQ (repeater output). This is one of the freqs Southern Area Incident Management Blue Team uses and they are onsite.
There is no common freq so far for Va Forestry and NC Forestry to talk on. I passed a NC Forestry radio tech van on the way to the command post to try to find something in common they could use. He was using 151.205 (NC Forestry) talking to his base in Eliz City talking about that. Hopefully they will work something out. There was a Dominion Power truck on site, several Va Forestry and several NC Forestry trucks also. Va Forestry had what looked like either a 18 wheeler fuel truck or water truck come up (passed me also) to the command post (called a ICP - Incident Command Post). I'll go back Saturday and camp out inthe area (in my truck) and see if they came up with a common freq. They might use Suffolks 800 system (just a guess) as Suffolk is helping and they are on their system. Maybe it might be easier for them to make a new talk group and everyone use it on the scene.
