Daniel Boone Natl Forest info

https://www.wildwebe.net/resourceStatus?dc_Name=KYKIC

looks like their basic organization is 4 TY6 engines + 3 militias + 1 dozer TY3

as of today - 1 of their TY6 engines is off forest - but they have 4
TY6 engines from out west on the forest - from mt and wa etc - they
also have a WY patrol engine (?TY7?) and a Shasta Module (maybe 5 hand
crew guys)

only 1 of the 4 local engines shows as being in service at 9 am today
- ?????? - do they have no staff? they have to bring in people from
oregon because no one is employed in kentucky to run the engines -
that seems very odd

militia = local admins and planners and land mgmt folks who can also
work as a hand crew - all are FT usfs staff - apparently none of them
can operate a TY6 engine - maybe they are all on furlough due to the
federal government shutdown

=========================

radio info for DBNF

per https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/US_Forest_Service_-_Daniel_Boone_National_Forest_(KY)
and https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/new-information-kentucky.489073/

169.90 - Region 8 Fire - apparently this is the onscene channel for fires

170.475 R - 164.9125 input - 3 repeaters - north zone - morehead ky -
cumberland ranger district

170.55 R - 164.80 input - south zone - London RD at london ky - 5
repeaters plus 1 temp repeater

170.525 R - 164.9375 input - Redbird Zone at Redbird RD at Redbird KY
- 4 repeaters

P25 and maybe FM are used

direct comms are also done on the repeater output channel apparently

stearns rd at stearns ky might also use 170.525 - not sure about that

trash channels - 163.7125 + 168.6125 - anyone and their brother has
access to those channels

=====================

from https://www.fs.usda.gov/r08/danielboone - 'radical left democrats
shut down the government' - lol - are you 2 years old? maybe it was
governor newscum that did it

=====================

https://www.radioreference.com/db/aid/781 - most of this info looks
old or stale or flipped - usually in recent years the inputs are
around 164 mhz and the outputs are around 170 mhz - but there are more
freqs here than are listed above
