They have been in the paranoid mode for several years now Peter. I remember 
several years ago we published a common list of Boise Cache freqs. We got 
email for one of the jerks in their HQ demanding to be told where we got the 
list. We told him Police Call which had been publishing the list for decades 
and available in any Radio Shack store. I heard him say, "Oh! Thank you for 
your time sir." <Click>

Some government freqs managers are a bit more over zealous than others. 
These days anyone who has cast their faith with or associated with DHS is 
way off the deep end. Those of you who have been around for a long time 
honestly think about this:

Folks such as CAP (amazing when a 11 year old can see those freqs, but I 
can't), MARS (all three services), and SHARES (the never do anything bunch 
like MARS) to name a few can have their freq list removed from public view. 
Amazing what DHS managed to do in a short time.

I might be able to justify SHARES being FOUO (if they really did do what 
they are suppose to do, pass government messages in an emergency), but CAP 
and MARS? Give me a break. Looks like some Cold War Warriors druming up 
business again in the new War on Terror.

Nuff, there will be a major editorial on CAP, MARS and SHARES and their 
frequencies soon in MT.
