Thank you for the very interesting web site.
I'll just point out that on the Yosemite frequencies page, you wrote:
"Yosemite National Park, about 180 miles due west of San Francisco,"
If that were true, a trip to Yosemite would require a harrowing boat ride. I think you meant to say "east" rather than "west".

Yosemite National Park, about 180 miles due east of San Francisco, is
imperfectly covered by amateur (ham) radio repeaters. Because of this, and the
rugged terrain, there are many dead spots and times you'll have to try
several of the following frequencies.
147.000 + Yosemite
172.650 Yosemite Park Local
171.650 Mt. Hoffman
168.350 National Park Service (NPS) Ranger
171.800 Yosemite Valley Floor
170.000 Yosemite Tactical
Additionally, check the following special-purpose frequencies:
155.160 Mountain Rescue Association (MRA)
155.205 Civil Air Patrol (CAP)
155.220 National Ski Patrol (NSP)
156.075 CALCORD
154.920 CLEMARS (CA Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Radio System) "Gold-1" *
154.935 CLEMARS (CA Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Radio System) "Gold-2" *

* So designated by the California Office of Emergency Services (OES),
the master licensee for this frequency in CA.
