[FedCom] NTIA and other allocations

Sun Jun 30 16:28:40 EDT 2024

Sorry, I am on the digest version of this listserv so I see posts only every several days, weeks or months, depending on activity.
The state of Arizona recently was granted VHF marine frequencies (as well as other Part 90 frequencies) for use at prisons around the state. Of course, the only use of VHF marine in Arizona is around some larger lakes and rivers. 
Chuck, N2DUP

That would have been Chuck, N2DUP who posted that helpful info, however most of those (In my monitoring) are Central US, away from the Coasts.
Along with some of the International channels that have always been Part 90 allocations

Those are generally the old Marine Operator channels, known as Public/Maritime Correspondence.

Houston DEA is on the "new" UHF 11-channel P25 plan but they are not used often. You can consult the list on RR under Harris County, TX Federal. They are often heard air-to-air on 136.275 when multiple aircraft are up. The aircraft used 171.5875 NAC 283 (not a typo) for air-to-air/air-to-base in the past but I haven't heard that since 2017.

actual verifications)

Here in New England they are still very UHF, altho a couple of Repeater have
been decommissioned, others are still there
But not the same activity as years gone by.

FLINT (Aircraft) are still active over the course of the past 60-90 days on
Ch.03 418.7500 S and Ch.04 418.6750 S
