Lake Cumberland Patrol

[Charlie1068]

I heard a while back that Lake Cumberland is operated by the US Army Corp of engineers. However I usually hear about boats getting stopped by the “cops” does KSP patrol the water or does the Corp patrol the water stopping boaters. I was monitoring Wayne county SO and I heard the Corp come up on there channel.

Park Rangers keep boaters safe during World’s largest Raft-Up at Lake Cumberland might be interesting reading.

I also understand that Kentucky Fish and Wildlife law enforcement folks might also be around. They are the "7xxxx" units on KSP. I have heard them on Rough River lake. Also last month we were on Lake Barkley and saw some F&W boats.

So many of Kentucky's "big lakes" are army corps of engineers flood control projects.

Makes since I’ve seen the Corp patrol the lake do they have an radio frequencies on the lake?

 

[ofd8001]

F&W will either be on KSP or cell phones. I'm sure they also have marine radios, which would be corps of engineers friendly.

(Actually I've heard F&W law enforcement talk on many different systems - they have multi-band radios if I remember right from when one of their guys was showing me his portable.)

 

[Charlie1068]

Okay thank you I was just curious because Wayne county SO was doing something at one of the boat ramps and the Corp came on channel to help SO

I hear KSP F&W patrol Taylorsville Lake on KSP 12.

 

[Charlie1068]

I have as well but it’s odd because I never see F&W on Cumberland I only see the the Corp

 

[Remington12G]

I would scan the 160 - 172 band and monitor for P25 or find some old Corp frequencies under federal.

 

[Charlie1068]

That’s probably what I plan to do only Corp frequency under federal is the one in Louisville

 

[Charlie1068]

I’ve also searched the lake for licenses but they are federal so I doubt I’ll find it

 

[Remington12G]

Try these
173.43750
163.41250
163.43750
173.05000

 

[Charlie1068]

Thank you I’m headed down next week I’ll plug them in in mixed mode and see what I get

 

[Remington12G]

Sure thing. Also these NAC's might be them. 100, 120, 130

 

[Charlie1068]

Sounds good I’ll be sure to keep the NAC open also I’ll see if I can get post 11 that covers part of the lake from here in Richmond to see if they do stuff on the lake

I live in Wayne Co. F&W are dispatched by the London post.
