hours smoke column north of Inskip (Finger)
- bearing 17.49 degrees; also Wilson Hill Camera ( bearing 201
degrees): 1812 hours substantial smoke / black / column; ...
1912 hours substantial reduction; 1943
hours smoke much smaller in size. 2005 hours very
small amount of smoke visible. Flight Radar showed flight
activity earlier. Wind out of SSW 9 mph.
All stations should periodically perform QWA procedure
(go outside, do a 360 degree turn observing ground level, tree
level and sky level and do you see or detect any
"suspect" smoke, fire or embers. If nothing detected
your SER report is your location and QWA. If you do see fire,
etc... plain english with your location and the location of the
fire (or bearing from your location). Call 911 if
appropriate and TX on EROC 9 AND CH 55 as appropriate. Also,
periodically check internet resources (and any other resources you
have)

All
stations (both NON Ham and Ham) are to transmit any
important information at any time day or night on BOTH of
the following: EROC
9 AND 760
(55). This is essential so that as many people as
possible hear the vital information. Some stations may
hear EROC 9 or not. Some stations may hear 760 (55) or
not. Therefore use both.

From Doug Young (Bravo 1):
"Had a few calls about
the Park Fire. I wanted to pass along our website as a good
source of up to date information that is verified before
posting. There are a lot of opinions floating around right now
on the internet so this might assist you in getting a better
personal understanding.
Main Web Page: Northern
California Geographic Area Coordination Center (nifc.gov)
(Here if you wait for map to load satellite heat signatures you
can see where fires are placed actually on the ground. P.S. in
the left tool bar you can measure distances to and from places)
Intel incident updates: Predictive
Services, News and Notes (nifc.gov)

GREAT JOB!
After
Action:
In above matters Cal fire responded, including Air
Attack. Initially Cal fire advised on air of locations
which appeared not correct. E.g.,
“highway 44 and Inwood (which was reported
nothing found)” – it was actually Highway 44 /
Starlite area (both referred to as “Gold” incident.
Early on there was a reference to “21158 Sqaw
grass” report changed 21558
Sqaw grass”.
Also, the only internet resource which was helpful
was flight radar when aircraft were over the incident. As
to Cameras, – there was no visual (but the map portion
was helpful); and none of the following internet resources
showed anything during incident: Watchduty; New Incident
Map; Camera photo views.
However, again, the
mapping portion of the Cameras did indicate the area of
the fires (eventually).
Cal fire radio traffic was very helplful but be
careful of errors.
Look at maps to figure out that what you hear makes sense.
People calling in may not be providing accurate
information under stress.
It is critical that all of our reporting be brief
and to the point. Example
of reporting: “[tactical]
my location is ____ nothing
showing, out”; “Flight
Radar - 3 aircraft over incident, out”.
Explanations of why you weren’t on earlier or how
you arrived at your location are NOT relevant and distract
from other radio traffic and mapping / triangulation work.
When a control station is monitoring the Internet and 3
radios, and two fires are active it gets a little inolved.
THANK
YOU. YOU
WERE HELPING TO REPORT
INFORMATION WHILE THE
FIRES WERE ACTIVE!
THAT
IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

*** ESSENTIAL RADIO ALERTING
AND RESPONSE TEAM STATIONS
(current
monthly list). To achieve this designation, a VOLUNTEER
station must have up
to date radios and be
CURRENTLY
AND CONSISTENTLY RESPONDING
TO ALERTS AND ACTIVATIONS
; ISSUING
ALERTS AND ACTIVATIONS; AND
PROVIDING REPORTS DURING
RADIO OPERATIONS.
We need more stations to achieve this designation so
that in the case of emergency, we have enough volunteer
skilled radio operators to conduct necessary emergency
radio operations (e.g., FIRE NETS for forest fires, smoke
checks, 911 relays, etc…).
Those Areas / Neighborhoods providing such radio operators are
the focus of the SERCAP system.

NOTE:
Frontier does NOT receive notifications of outages except
by people calling in (so only those with another type of
service can contact Frontier). The Company that
actually services our Area is NOT Frontier. The company
(under contract with Frontier) that actually services our

07 10 ALERT FM – INFORMATION
|
Attempted to
program 2 units which did not receive recent ALERT FM
test.
|
Problem #1:
When entered latitude / longitude information into
the units, each one appeared to retain the information.
HOWEVER, when each unit was disconnected from AC
(house power) and the Battery removed (simulating power
outage and dead battery) the latitude / longitude
information (necessary for alerting) DISAPPEARED FROM EACH
UNITS MEMORY upon reconnecting to AC and putting in
battery.
Another unit tested did not appear to have the
above problem.
ALERT FM advised that such appeared to be an anomaly
and is sending out replacement units to the specific
people involved.
Problem #2:
It was reported that a family subject to
Evacuations during the recent DERSCH Fire did NOT receive
any ALERT FM notification. Reason is not known.
ACTION: IF ANY RADIO
OPERATOR RECEIVES AN ALERT FM NOTIFICATION, PLEASE
TRANSMIT IT OUT ON EROC
9 AND EROC 55 EXACTLY AS RECEIVED.
THIS WAY WE INCREASE THE PROBABILITY OF PEOPLE
RECEIVING ALERTS (AT LEAST FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR
RADIOS ON AND MONITORING).

07 08 0831 hours Cal Fire Tone out - unknown fire -
Broke Off Meadows Rd just past Bailey Creek Bridge. Cal Fire
responding TAC 12. Internet resource New
Incident Map (7/2024) showed initial area of
40.508707 -121.727842. (here) which was South East of
Christian Camp in Viola. This initial posting not
correct. It was the other Camp off of Long Hay Flat Rd.
SER Information

NE 2 kts. Cal Fire radio traffic - multiple reports fire
behind camp. Cal fire unable to locate. .. check A line ...
Engines also staged at Millville Plains Rd and 44 ... S6
reported possible smoke cloud on Inskip Camera. Air resources in
route / Dozer staging Long Hay Flat. Cal fire also
going onto Long Hay Flat Rd to determine if fire at other
Camp. Flight Radar shows derived estimated lat long of
40.4937 -121.768 (here) which is Westerly from
initial reported position. Fire actually about 2 miles south of
highway 44 off Long Hay Flat. Inskip Camera smoke
col visible bearing 42.81 deg True. Column getting
larger (here). 0904 hours fire behind church camp 1/4 acre slow
rate of spread. ... approx 0915 hours hose lay around fire
.. smoke col significantly reduced. ... Air resources have been
cancelled .... SER advisory deactivated / continued silent
monitoring. 0930 hours Cal Fire commitment of
resources 1 (one) hour. Subsequently, the New
Incident Map was revised to show the correct location (here).
Stations assisting / responding:
S6 S1 F1 I1 F7.
After Action: lat/long and
initial reports may be based upon initial reports Cal Fire
received which may not be accurate. Viewing multiple
resources and radio reports is needed to determine actual
location and facts. In several cases, Cal Fire has to work to
find the actual location. If you see a fire and call it
in, try to be as accurate as possible as to your location and
direction to fire.

06 27 - Net cancelled due to Presidential debate.
Al Stations please continue 24/7 scan. |
2024 06 20 Check ins followed by QSY to Repeater for ability of
stations to hear, then QSY back to EROC 9 for reports.
Net time 9 minutes. This was a Drill emergency frequency
change with propagation reports for repeater use during a
wildfire - e.g., evacuation reporting.
Check ins 13 (EROC 9). (check ins and
reports combined TOTAL 25).
Check ins on EROC 9 VL: F1
F7 S1 I1 L9 F2 F8
B1 B7 E4 (NO PROP RPT); SL KJ;
MW3 LH1. ALL Q5 ON REPEATER EXCEPT: L9
F2F8 MW1 (phone).
ALSO SL JF (HAM) - reported on phone Q5 for repeater; but
EROC 9 no readable. He is raising his outside antenna to try
to reach EROC 9.
We had 13 check ins (EROC 9) and 12 stations that
reported results of ability to hear the repeater (Ch 10).
This was to determine each stations ability to hear the
repeater for an emergency. For example a mass evacuation due
to wild fire for reporting road conditions (e.g., roads
blocked b fire, roads that are moving ...)..
We had 3 stations that couldn't hear the repeater from their
home QTH.
Of those three stations, one (VL L9) had a
hand held and followup after the net resulted in the
recommendation that an outside antenna is needed due to the
location and trees.
Of the other two, they both had outside antennas. Follow up
later resulted in them having the ability to hear the
repeater. Why such a situation existed one moment and not the
next is not known. One station (VL F2 F8) is going
to raise his antenna another 3 feet higher above the roof line
as there is a roof vent very close to the ground plane of the
antenna. As to the other station (MW 1) , it needs to be
determined the type of outside antenna being used.
Tonight was a chance to practice changing frequencies and
confirming the ability to hear the repeater. During a
wild fire is not the time to start learning. Tonight
exercise was very simple and easy and only 9 minutes.
Thank you to the 13 stations that helped out tonight.
If this is going to work we need more operators who actually
participate and use their radios.
Remember the Maui Fires? There was a whole bunch of ham
equipment and radios sitting idle during the fire and
evacuation while people died. But no body used the radios.
We need more stations to actively participate and use their
radios.
The net tonight was 9 minutes. On the other hand, about 3
hours was spent today programming some radios, delivering
them, prepping for the net, running the net and then following
up after the net with stations to try to find out why some
stations had problems.
We have a resource and opportunity that other areas simply
don't have. What we decide to make of it is up to all of us.
What will be our excuse when a fire hits?
The more people that participate means there is more potential
life saving information available during a fire.
A few people can't do this by themselves.

event.

12 ALERT FM TEST RESULTS:
Note: followup
with Sheriff's office - test was using the "places"
(i.e., Lat/Long) this time. So if your unit didn't work, check
if your lat/long is entered in "position"
under "places". If such is not entered, then you
need to do that.
We asked SER radio operators to report on the alert FM Test
that was conducted today by the Sheriff's Office.
Results:
5 stations (Village F1 S6 G7 S1) and (Strarlite
- KJ) reported test successful.
1 station (Village E1 by phone) test successful.
1 station (Village B1 by text) test successful.
2 stations (Village I1 F14) reported test failed - they
didn't receive alert.
1 station (Midway MW3) reported unit not yet set up.
AS A REMINDER IF YOU HEAR AN ALERT, PLEASE WRITE IT DOWN
AND THEN TRANSMIT IT OVER EROC 9, EROC 55 AND EROC 58.
MANY PEOPLE APPEAR TO NOT HAVE THE ALERT FM SYSTEM, AND THERE
APPEARS TO STILL BE A PROGRAMMING ISSUE WITH SOME UNITS.
Thank you.

FIRE NET DRILL- TACTICALS.
Tonight we will do a Drill Fire Net Activation with
stations volunteering to perform tactical functions (e.g.,
Flight Radar - monitoring Flight Radar on internet resource
page, etc...).
We will first do a check in (assuming no actual incident
activation).
Next we will do a drill Fire Net Activation and Assignment of
Tacticals. That's all.
Tonight Please volunteer to be a "tactical". You
will not be doing anything other than stepping up.
The purpose tonight is to refresh people on how the Fire Net
works.
Next time, you will actually go to the resource page, etc..
WE WILL USE THIS AS A BASIS FOR THE DRILL TONIGHT.
For purposes of the Drill only, I will provide explanations as
we proceed. During an actual activation, those
"explanations" will not be provided.
Thank you.

06 02 Emergency Radio Communications
Mapping:
Todays Mapping - Eastbound on Hwy 44.
Today, we continued with radio communications
mapping from Shasta Forest Village & Hwy 44
while heading EASTBOUND on Hwy 44 to mile
marker 46.6 at the 32N17 Road to North
Battle Creek Reservoir.
We used the repeater (Ch 10 listening; Ch
55 TX).
Focus was on the Hand Held radio with 14.5 inch
antenna since many people have that. It is
deemed beneficial to test these matters before
an evacuation.
The results were favorable. Of the
approx 29 test locations, all were satisfactory
except 2 locations. That is about an 93 Percent
favorable rating. There was scratch on som, but
the communications were readable. The results
will be added to Format Romeo 6.
PLEASE NOTE: A 50 WATT WITH MAG MOUNT
WOULD BE PREFERABLE, ESPECIALLY IF THE REPEATER
GOES DOWN AND YOU HAVE TO RELY ON SIMPLEX
- CH 13 / CH 58.
However, testing today again illustrated that
the small UV5R with the 14.5 inch antenna did a
good job for both transmit and receive.
TX on repeater is limited to selected
participating stations who assist in providing
reporting information.
All persons may benefit from listening.
More testing is planned for other potential
evacuation routes.
RECOMMENDATION: WE SHOULD ALL BE CARRYING A
RADIO WITH US IN OUR VEHICLES. MONITOR
SCAN PLAN 24/7.
Thank you to VL F7.
PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T HAD THEIR RADIOS UPDATED
SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE CH 10 (IE., THE
146.760 REPEATER) PROGRAMMED WITH NO
TONES, NO OFFSET, AND NO TX SO THEY CAN AT LEAST
LISTEN IF THE CHANNEL IS USED. Those who don't
follow the SER Plan should develop a plan for
their areas.
Active community participation is necessary
for the radio plan to work.
This is another valuable tool for
consideration.

21 Radio Communications - Evacuation Planning.
Over the last couple of days you may have noticed
testing on CH 10 (rx) / Ch 55 (TX) (146.760
repeater).
This will be in a SER report format in future,
but for now this is the summary REPORT.
You should know this in the event an evacuation
becomes necessary.
1. From Hwy 44 and Ponderosa. Traveling North
on Ponderosa to Whitmore Rd.
Vehicle Odometer miles
(approx) 13.9 miles.
50 Watt radio with Mag
mount worked well.
HT (UV5R) with 14.5 inch
antenna also worked well.
Areas along this route had
no cell phone reception.
2. 100 Rd at Ponderosa - heading East Bound on
100 Rd., and looping back onto
Withrow Rd. at Ponderosa:
50 Watt with Mag mount
worked well.
HT with 14.5 inch
antenna also worked well.
(There were some
"rough" spots along this route, both
road wise and
radio
propagation).
PLEASE NOTE: A 50 WATT WITH MAG MOUNT
WOULD BE PREFERABLE, ESPECIALLY IF THE REPEATER
GOES DOWN AND YOU HAVE TO RELY ON SIMPLEX
- CH 13 / CH 58. However, on
both of these tests the small UV5R with the 14.5
inch antenna did a good job for both transmit
and receive. TX on repeater is limited to
selected participating stations who assist in
providing reporting information. All persons may
benefit from listening.
More testing is being done for other potential
evacuation routes. The above testing along with
summarizing of results took about 5 Plus HOURS.
WE SHOULD ALL BE CARRYING A RADIO WITH US IN OUR
VEHICLES.
MONITOR SCAN PLAN 24/7.
Thank you to VL F7.
PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T HAD THEIR RADIOS UPDATED
SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE CH 10 (IE., THE
146.760 REPEATER) PROGRAMMED WITH NO

2024 05
08 MOBILE EVACUATION NET SCHEDULED FOR Thursday
night (assuming no Actual activation) THE
NET AGENDA IS (ON EROC 9):
1. Check ins; followed by
2. Drill Mobile Evacuation Net.
During a large area evacuation no station will be
able to be sitting at home directing the Net as
people will be getting family into vehicles and
evacuating.
For this Drill, F1 will start off the Drill Mobile
Evacuation net, and then we need stations to step
up. We haven't practiced this for a while, so
it may not be perfect, but now is the time to
practice. No excuses for not participating.
We will have to rely on very tight radio procedures
(i.e., the same type of procedures we use in our
regular weekly practices). Thus, do not simply key
the mike and start talking because if the procedures
are not followed, then people will not hear reports
due to doubling, and you will not know whether your
"report" or "need" was even
heard by anyone, and you will screw up the emergency
communications. There will be problems due to
propagation and "things that go wrong".
That is life. We don't explain why. Just fix
it and keep moving. Wasted talk may be preventing an
emergency call.
Simply put, each neighborhood would follow these
procedures on their CH1 (Village on Ch9), while in
their neighborhood.
Then upon exiting their neighborhood, each station
having left its neighborhood, would then use the
same procedure on CH 10 or Ch 13 for listening
(Ch 55 or CH 58 for transmit depending on which
Channel the mobile net is being held).
Thus, once out of your neighborhoods we may have
stations reporting on CH 55 (listening on Ch 10)
from Viola (or beyond) to Redding (or beyond) and
North and South of that line of travel.
Stations will essentially have either a report to
make or a request for information, or
possibly need a 911 relay, etc... ..
The station desiring to make a report, for example,
will simply key the mike and give their tactical
-e.g., "Foxtrot 1, report"
Then ANY STATION jumps in and acts as
"TEMP CONTROL" ... (the Temp Control
is the station that is acting as CONTROL for that
brief communications cycle - i.e., handling that
REPORT, or that REQUEST FOR INFORMATION).
When that communications cycle is done that specific
Temp Control says "Temp Control out"
(unless he / she is available to handle another
Comms Cycle).
Then, any next COMMS CYCLE would be handled by any
station who is at a safe location and is able to act
as "Temp Control" at that time.
Stations should be recording reports and requests,
etc... The Radio operator should not be
the person who is driving the vehicle!
PLEASE REFER TO PAGE ONE OF THE ATTACHED SAMPLE
MOBILE EVACUATION NET DRILLS. PRINT OUT THIS PAGE SO
YOU CAN USE IT DURING THE DRILL.
WE WILL USE EITHER EXAMPLE 1, 2 , 3, OR 4
(on page 1) and these can be repeated numerous times
during our practice so that everyone has a chance to
actively participate. Ignore the "tacticals"
shown in the examples. ANY STATION CAN WORK THE
EXAMPLES.
Any questions, call me 530-474-3267

Alert FM device shows "no service" (radio portion of
unit works fine) (1841 hours). Unknown
if any other units show such. 1853 hours, the "no
service" message was gone. I looked on line and it
was recommended if "no service" appears move unit to
another location in home. Recommendation: County
should test units at least 1 time per month. Moved unit to new
locatoin and message "no service" came back on.
Thereafter "no service".

2024 04 17 It is
again urged that stations get outside antennas for their homes.
Also, if there is an emergency
involving immediate safety of life, ANY STATION IS TO HANDLE
EVEN IF IT IS ON THE HAM REPEATER and you are not a Ham !
Stations must Monitor EROC 9 and their Area Ch 1. (Exception -
Village monitors EROC 9 NOT ch 1).
Also, Stations are asked to monitor Ch 10 (which is listening to
the Repeater). Stations with TX capability on the repeater use
Ch 55 to transmit in emergencies.
It is strongly recommended that Stations
with TX ability on Ch 55 carry an extra hand held with them in
their vehicles! I will program it for you.

2024 04 17 -
agenda announcement. Thursday 4/18/2024, we will
conduct a Situation Report Net.
PLUS, during the net, we
will have a DRILL 911 RELAY exercise.
The person making the drill 911 call request will be set up
before the net. HOWEVER, we need any station to act as the drill
911 relay station. If more than one station volunteers, Control
will pick the station.
The concept is that as the net is operating (this could include
a Fire Net, etc...), a [drill] 911 relay request is made.
The net is temporarily paused and the [drill] 911 call is handed
off to a volunteer who makes the [drill] 911 call (don't
actually call during the drill). While the [drill] 911
relay station is making the [drill] 911 call, the net continues
its normal operations.
Then, later during the net, the drill 911 relay station advises
control that the call has been done (don't actually call 911 for
the exercise) ... then the normal net operations continue.
Thereafter, Cal Fire 20 will advise control when dispatch for
the 911 [no actual dispatch TX because this was a drill] call
has been transmitted over the Cal Fire frequency by Cal Fire.
Then, again, normal net operations continue. Thus, we are
concurrently handling multiple traffic matters (e.g., situation
reports, QWA procedure, and [drill] emergency traffic).
Please note that Control Stations, example, Fire Control,
Triangulation, Mapping, Cal fire 20, Internet Winds, ...Camera,
backup, Lookout stations, etc..., should NOT be the 911 relay
station because that would stop the Net Operation which could be
handling a wildfire. So it is imperative that stations not
performing Net operations step up and volunteer.
Thank you.

USE OF HAM REPEATER -
FIRE SEASON 4/10/2024
Ch 55 (is the ham repeater) and certain radios have CH 55
which gives those radios the ability to transmit on the
repeater.
Ch 10 is the same frequency as Ch 55 but that Channel can listen
only.
You may hear emergency traffic on Ch 10 (this is the Channel you
can scan along with EROC 9).
IF you don't have CH 55, then listen and call 911 if necessary.
IF YOU HAVE CH 55 and hear emergency
traffic on Ch 10), then please go to CH 55 and respond on
frequency and handle the emergency traffic (e.g., call 911) even
if you are not a licensed ham.
IF YOU HAVE CH 55 and are outside of your area (e.g.,
Village, Midway, Long hollow, Starlite, etc...) and have an emergency
(e.g., serious auto accident / immediate safety of life .... )
call 911 by phone if you can. If you can't use the phone, then
USE CH 55 AND ANY STATION IS TO RESPOND AND PROVIDE RADIO
ASSISTANCE EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A HAM.
IF YOU HAVE CH 55 and are outside of your area (e.g.,
away from Village, Midway, Long hollow, etc...) AND SEE
