[FedCom] National Park Service Locations & Frequencies Update?

[Ken]

Here's a very good site to show you all National Park Service by state, 
etc....
http://www.nps.gov/applications/parksearch/geosearch.cfm

Many frequency directories seem to indicate that frequencies used are 
primarily in the VHF highband area (162-174 mhz) with some link transmitters 
in the UHF area (406-420 mhz).

Tom Kneitel's "The 'Top Secret' Registry of U.S. Government Radio 
Frequencies", 8th edition (1993) lists specific frequency information 
regarding about 230 NPS facilities/locations such as national parks, 
national historic parks, national battlefields, natioinal battlefield parks, 
national military parks, national memorials, national historic sites, 
national monuments, natiional preserves, national seashores, national 
parkways, national lakeshores, national rivers, national scenic rivers & 
riverways, parks?, & national recreation areas.  Additionally he lists some 
common repeater pairs, simplex freqs...

Rich Barnett's "'Monitoring America' -- The National Communications Guide" 
(1995), 1100+ pages, has where applicable a lists in each state/area 
chapter, & in most instances also includes CTCSS codes.

Hmm, this also sounds like a great hobby magazine series for some "on scene" 
up to date reporting...
