[FedCom] FEMA

[Ken]

Bob & the group.

Mr Google says:
138.2250  Designated for other DOD use
140.0250  Designated for other DOD use
141.7250  Designated for other DOD use

So I'd suspect that on 1/1/2008, unless there's some sort of a waiver that 
DOD gives to FEMA, you won't be monitoring FEMA on these specific VHF 
frequencies.   However, Mr Google is quite a guy and if you ask the "right" 
questions, you might get some surprising answers!!! ;)

that they were no longer authorized in this band as far back as 1993 and
wrote about that in MT. Of course, some book publications and magazine
columnist are incapable of throwing away a freq, even when the evidence says
otherwise.

I'm not so sure.  I've heard 138.225, 140.025 and 141.725 in use in the 
Kansas City area long after 1993.  I suspect they're still authorized for 
many or most of the military land mobile channels in the 138-144 MHz. 
range -- perhaps not under the "FEMA" name, but as a factual matter.
