HELO Eagle 1

US Park Police helicopter Eagle 1 is enroute to Rockingham County for an extraction of hikers. Anyone know their frequency? This is what I've programmed from DC:

US Park Police

Frequency Input Type Tone CH Description Mode
166.72500 165.97500 RM 127.3 PL 1/6 Tactical/Special Events FM
166.92500 165.92500 RM 127.3 PL 2/7 Dispatch/Operations FM
167.07500 164.47500 RM 127.3 PL 3/8 Tactical/Administration FM
166.85000 M 4 Tactical/Special Operations FM

I would imagine that they would come up on the relivant frequencies for rockingham or the national park/national forest in the area.

You're right. I figured they would switch to the local operating channel, but I thought I might be able to catch something prior to the switch. I did hear them on 166.900 calling Shenandoah Nat'l Park dispatch, asking for the Rockingham frequency. After they arrived, I heard them on 166.850 simplex. I think it was their rescue tech & helicopter.
