Has 143.750 MHz Mission Changed

For quite some time now I have been watching the 138-144/148-150.8 MHz spectrum very close. On most list 143.750 has been observed in the past as a Civil Air Patrol frequency nationwide. That has now apparently changed. Detailed monitoring now indicates that this is a DoD Air-Ground/Air-Air frequency instead.

In the past 143.750 was used as a repeater input to 148.125 MHz. Obviously now with A-A/A-G activity in the AM mode these two functions can not exist.

So are the 148.125 CAP repeaters still in use? If so, then what is the input frequency for these repeaters.

The search for the new CAP mystery frequencies is getting more interesting by the minute.

Reports to my email address from other areas are most welcomed.
