New England Air to Ground Freqs 2014 Wildfire In the event that airtankers or helos ever are assigned to a incident on the Green Mtn Natl Forest or the White Mtns Natl Forest, or if federal fire aviation assets are asigned to a local or state incident, these might be the air to ground freqs used
Vermont - A/G 66 166.675 - A/G 28 170.00 - A/G 72 169.15 New Hampshire - A/G 66 166.675 - A/G 72 169.15 max power is 10 watts - no PL - these are freqs from a national pool with standardized channel names (A/G 66 - A/G72 - etc) I would expect that these channels would be found in all fire radios on the GMNF and the WMNF. Federal wildfire agencies typically use for each wildfire - 1 A/G freq, 1 air to air freq (might be an aviation band freq), 1 Command Net (for IC to dispatch office messages), and 1 or more Tac channels (short range simplex). 168.625 is the "Air Guard" Channel. Every fire aircraft has a separate receiver on 168.625. And many mobiles and portables used by the ground pounders have 168.625 as Channel 16. 168.65 is the "National Flight Following" Channel. This is sorta a backup channel for aircraft to dispatcher comms. IIRC all federal wildfire dispatch centers are supposed to have comms capability on 168.65 and 168.625, but I dont know if New England has that capability or not. There are few major fires on the National Forests in New England. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
