Thank for the info.

I'll have to punch a couple of the closer ones in.

2 of the fed a/g were new to me - maybe they are new for 2021

Speaking of A/G frequencies, has anyone heard much on 151.34 or 159.30 during wildfire season? If so were transmissions narrowband FM or digital? I understand 159.30 was once used by Conservation Officers for what I presume was their tactical simplex channel like talkaround, but this was before I was in the scanning hobby.

this url seems to lead to a different document now

I see that Air Net Simplex is only used within 40 nm of Grand Rapids

(actually this is a different URL - it does not have 'Minn DNR' in it)

I typically hear in north central Minnesota a lot of times DNR TAC 1 for their on scene operations. They do have limited 800 MHz portables but seem like their boss leads have those to talk with local fire departments. Also they use their local DNR VHF repeaters as well too. I have noticed that some fire departments still have VHF to use the DNR TAC 1 and the local forestry repeaters too.
