Do you know what frequency is being used by Air Attack to talk to the tankers? Yesterday they were using Forest Service Air Tactics 1 (166.675) and I was able to hear Air Attack some of the time. I haven't heard anything on there today though. They seem to have changed all of the air operations frequencies from yesterday to today.
