Barnes ANG Base LMR Support Nets

Time seems to fly by, this is the information I gathered at "on scene" adventures in April & October 2005 (During typical base weekend training schedule) & some limited searching June 2006 airshow:
Frequencies Active/Usage:Ground Support (NFM, analog, no CTCSS):
148.0750 Computer Generated Automated Voice Announcements (Ground NBC Sensors Zone Status/Alerting?)
148.1000 Aircraft Maintenance
148.1750 Medical
148.2000 Fire/Crash (CE Secondary)
148.4500 Security
148.4750 Aircraft Maintenance, Base Common
148.5000 Transportation
148.5250 Operations, Supv of Flying, Control Tower Tie In
148.5500 Transportation (Also Exercise Coordination "Storm Chaser"
148.9875 Exercise Evaluation Team (probably new Disaster Preparedness Frequency)
149.2000 Aircraft Maint
149.2250 Civil Engineering (pavements & grounds runway repair team)149.3250 Civil Engineering (Fire Department secondary)
150.1750 Aircraft Fuels
150.2875 Unknown Usage (some data bursts, MDT network?)
150.3250 Security
It's unclear what affect the new rebanding to narrow band NFM standards will have on all of these Land Mobile Radio Net Frequencies which becomes mandatory on 1/1/2008.
So I plan to periodically perform some "on scene" monitoring to determine if any other changes have taken place from the civilian side of the airport.
