Far West side of the Village (Echo 1 area) through Inwood, Midway
to approx Dersch / 44.
VL i1 reported (via phone relay) Sites
Area without power. Also on 760 a station reported power out in
the Airport Area.
Ham (MWM) was monitoring home security cams (back up power activated)
and observed power out in the Rest Area. Thank you Mike for the e-mail
report.
Thus, large area Power Outage: No
Power from Airport (circle K area), Sites, Rest Area, Village, Midway, Long hollow
to approx Dersch / 44. (per PG & E outage map - outage includes
Inwood).
Approx 1950 hours VL
S6 reported smell of smoke out
of the East. Also, VL F7 DETECTED Smoke odor out of East. Action:
request made for all Village stations to conduct QWA procedure. Results
of QWA PROCEDURE - Reports: All QWA - INCLUDING
L3 L9 B6 S1 I1 F8 C1 F13 S3. Shortly thereafter,
VL S6 and VL F7 BOTH reported smoke odor dissipated.
Recommendation: No Action. No station disagreed. i1
agreed. QWA procedure Deactivated approx 1957.

6/5/2023
- Lightening Strikes.
QWL
issued on 760 (10) AND EROC 9 - WITH PLAIN ENGLISH EXPLANATION.
"QWL
- SHINGLETOWN MULTIPLE STRIKES".
QWL
MEANING: “LIGHTENING
strikes
observed and/or expected [over area]. All
stations
go to higher awareness level.
Make
frequent SMOKE
OBSERVATIONS.
REPORT
AS/ IF
NECESSARY.”
(i.e., MAKE QWA OBSERVATIONS AND REPORT IF NECESSARY).
Following
Lightening Stikes, a fire may develop over
the course of a short time, up to approx. 2 weeks.
Thus, if station operators are driving, they
should have a higher level of alert during
such
times. Have your radio, cell phone and a compass
to give bearings, etc... .
Midway and
Village stations acknowledged QWL (Stations were also monitoring 10 and
responded on EROC 9). GREAT JOB! Several stations will be
QXX during June, so it is important that as many stations as
possible keep up the great work.

After Action: if
smoke column had increased / higher winds, etc..., advisory to be
issued (EROC 9 and 10). If it had become an incident of
concern, then a fire net would be activated. Thus, the levels
are: Silent Monitoring; Advisory; and Fire Net Activation. |
5/21/2023 -
Random Monitoring check done on Ch 10 (760 repeater).
Only ham responding was SER operator BZL (Don - Sierra 1). Thank you
DON. No other Shingletown Hams responded.
It would be nice if they would, as Fire Season is here).
The Random monitoring
checks clearly show that NON HAMS need to monitor 10 to be able to hear
out of Area Emergency Traffic. There are only 4 SER Hams. If
we are gone, Non Hams must be ready to act.
THUS,
if there is an emergency on 10, and no ham responds, then NON HAMS
MUST go to Ch 55 (for transmit) and HANDLE THE EMERGENCY LIFE
THREATENING TRAFFIC. This could be a major accident
involving great bodily injury, or the start of a raging wild fire. Just
follow SER Procedures and be professional as you are during our weekly
practice sessions. Just do the same type of radio traffic handling
that we do during our regular practices. That is why all of us should be
practicing.

5/13/2023 - Preparation
for wild fires - get ready [below sent out to all SER Plan
participants]:
During the summer, Key stations may be away. We only have a
few Hams that help out
THUS, it is CRITICAL that NON Hams be prepared to step up and help
out. You need to participate and be active in our weekly nets.
PRESENTLY EROC 9 IS THE PRIMARY FREQUENCY.
ALSO, WE NEED SOME STATIONS TO
MONITOR CH 10 (we still have some malicious activity on it). If
Ch 10 is bothering you, then merely go back to monitoring EROC 9
(which should always be monitored)
If there is a fire, it may be necessary to have a field team go out to
make a visual observation (need radio and mag mount antenna). Example,
if there is another fire near Digger Butte, that team will have to use
the 760 repeater (CH 10 RX AND CH 55 FOR TX and RX) in
order for a fire net in the Village CORE to hear the reports from the
Wilson Hill lookout locations. Such may be the only "eyes
on" the fire situation.
Thus, if there
is an emergency with immediate danger to life (e.g., wild fire), NON
hams may use the 760 repeater. Further, if you are listening to the
760 repeater and Hear "emergency" and no one answers the
call, then PLEASE PICK UP THE MICROPHONE AND HANDLE THE EMERGENCY
TRAFFIC. Follow SER Procedures and be professional just like during
our weekly nets and activations.
If there is an emergency and some Ham comes on and tells you to stop,
that you are illegal, ... , you are to IGNORE THE HAM!!! Advise
"this is an emergency please don't interfere"
then continue to handle the emergency life threatening situation.
Note: We are not going to have people die and be burned to death
because of ignorant hams.
Also, I am attempting to work with the Office of Emergency Services
(Sheriff) as to using 760 for transmit of emergency orders - example
evacuation orders. If you are a non ham and hear the Office of
Emergency Services transmit an emergency notification then GET ON THE
RADIO (Ch 55) and acknowledge the message - example "
Midway XX copies OES message", write it down exactly and
repeat it exactly on both Ch 55 and EROC 9. You need to get the
emergency message out so people don't die.
Thank you.
Control Operator of 760 repeater
|
05/12/2023:
F1 drove to Sacramento. Did several radio checks on 760 to
test propagation. All SER Plan Hams were QXX. When I requested
propagation tests (on way down and back) NOT
a single Shingletown Ham responded. When I got home a
Midway NON Ham advised that my requests were heard by them on 760.
Conclusion: it is imperative
that SER NON Hams be prepared to use the 760 Ham repeater for emergency
communications since Shingletown local "club" Hams continue in
not responding and not helping out. Thus, if the few SER Plan Hams are
not available, then the 760 is a wasted asset which could be vital to
save life during a fire or other life threatening emergency.

- TEST OF ALERT FM. After the net OES tested the Alert
FM system at appox. 1930 hours. There were several stations in the
Village who had the device and the test worked properly. Most residents
do not appear to have the device.
Action Point:: In the event of an emergency alert
through Alert FM, those who have such devices should relay the
information out on EROC 9 so everyone is aware of the situation.

VILLAGE
S1
(KB6BZL) RECOMMENDATIONS AND CRITIQUE AS TO DRILL FIRE NET
CONDUCTED ON 4/27/2023:
1.
STATIONS MUST SPEAK
DELIBERATELY, CLEARLY AND SLOWLY.
YOUR REPORTS ARE
BEING RECORDED BY OTHER STATIONS AND THEY NEED TIME TO TO WRITE DOWN
WHAT YOU REPORT. THESE STATIONS WRITING REPORTS DOWN INCLUDE: TRIANGULATION,
FIRE CONTROL, BACKUP AND
MAPPING.
2.
PRESS THE PUSH TO TALK AND
THEN WAIT FOR A SECOND BEFORE YOU START TO SPEAK. IF YOU DON’T DO
THIS, PART OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS CUT OFF AND NOT HEARD BY OTHER
STATIONS.
THANKS TO DON
(KB6BZL) FOR THE ABOVE CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENTS.
ALSO:
IF YOU ARE NOT
RECOGNIZED BY CONTROL, YOU MUST CONTINUE TO KEEP TRYING UNTIL YOU AREA
HEARD ! WAIT FOR A PAUSE AND GIVE YOUR TACTICAL. REPEAT
THE PROCESS UNTIL SOMEONE PICKS YOU UP.
IF YOU HEAR A
STATION THAT CONTROL DOESN’T RECOGNIZE, THEN PLEASE STATE “RELAY”
AND THEN GET THE REPORT FROM THE STATION AND RELAY IT TO CONTROL.

Practice Net: SitRep Tango 9A or 9M AND QWA Procedure (Brevity Fire Watch).
Please help out by joining in.
B1 will be CONTROL and he will NEED HELP for "Cal
Fire 20", "Backup", "mapping", and
relay of reports he can't hear.
Control will be performing multiple functions as F1 and F7 will be QXX.
Control may end up doing "mapping" (thus, double duty).
Please step up and help B1 (CONTROL). All you need
to do is participate, provide needed assistance and follow the SER
Procedures. In this regard, following the Procedures helps Control
stations when they are performing multiple tasks at one time.
This net should only take about 12 minutes of your time. So
please join in, help out and get ready for FIRE SEASON. Now is
the time to practice using your radio. Now is the time to make
mistakes and learn.
Thank you to everyone who is helping out. You are a vital part of our
Emergency Radio Team.

PROCEDURE
DESCRIBED BELOW.
Next
Thursday our practice net will include a DRILL involving passing of
emergency traffic PLUS, this will be combined with
EARTHQUAKE DRILL WITH QWA PROCEDURE PDF
VERSION of EARTHQUAKE DRILL -
please open and review before DRILL.
DUE
TO THE SUBSTANTIAL SNOW, YOU DON'T NEED TO ACTUALLY PERFORM THE QWA
PROCEDURE. THIS IS AVOID PERSONS SLIPPING ON ICE, ETC..
THE QWA RESPONSE WILL STILL BE PART OF THE DRILL REPORTING.
A
designated station during the Net will make a "DRILL
EMERGENCY" call into the Net.
We
will need another station (any station which is not a control station -
i.e., a station that is not acting as Control,
Mapping, Cal Fire Monitor, 760 relay, etc...) to advise Control
that they can make the call (after Control makes the request).
STATIONS CAPABLE OF MAKING 911 RELAY CALL(S) NEED TO RESPOND AND
HELP. OTHERWISE, ENTIRE NET IS SLOWED DOWN (WHICH COULD RESULT IN
REDUCED RESPONSE TIME FOR OTHER EMERGENCY CONDITIONS).
During this DRILL Net Practice, no actual call to 911 will be made
since this is a drill. While the volunteer 911 relay station makes
the DRILL call to 911 (No actual call made) the Net will
continue, and the 911 relay station will at some point report back to Control
that the Drill 911 call was made. Cal Fire Monitor is to also report to Control
that the Drill 911 call was transmitted by Redding (there will be no
actual transmit by Redding). The purpose of this is that during an
actual event, we want to make sure the call was acted upon.
Thus, during this next Practice, we will be handling
"drill" emergency traffic while we are simultaneously taking
reports (e.g., drill earthquake, drill QWA).
During
a future actual Shingletown Fire, we may have emergency traffic,
while we are concurrently taking situation reports, taking QWA reports
(to determine if there are any other suspect fires, embers, smoke),
while conducting mapping of all reports and additionally running the
FIRE NET (with triangulation on the location of the fire, Cal Fire
Monitor, winds, measuring distance from neighborhoods, have reports by
mobile radio operators viewing fire, receiving Camera reports,
etc...). We need the Level 2 radio operators to step in and be
able to function in all of these positions. I will practice
with each of you, just give me a call at 530-474-3267.
PLEASE
HELP OUT AND PARTICIPATE (I.E., report into the net and provide the
requested information).
Following
the SER Procedures, we should be done in less than 17 minutes.
The
TV News has stated that CAL FIRE recommends people have a communications
plan for their community. Well, you have one that actually works.
So, please continue stepping up to the plate. CORE AREA stations
(Village, Long Hollow, Midway, Rest Area) are doing a great
job following the plan and helping out.
Fire Season will be fast upon us.

BACKUP
has been added for the purpose of relaying
net activations from CONTROL, as well as summaries and net
deactivation. This is needed
so that we have greater propagation in order to reach Midway, Long
Hollow and other stations that may not (do not) hear CONTROL. BACKUP and
CONTROL must be able to clearly hear each other but should be a
considerable distance from each other to achieve the objective.
For stations that hear both CONTROL and BACKUP, this will sound
like a lot of duplication, but you must remember we are seeking to reach
other stations that can only hear
BACKUP (they can’t hear CONTROL) so that the Net receives and
sends reports to as many participating stations as we can on EROC 9

Smoke Check Drill Format Tango 4
The Drill conducted was DRILL
- TRAINING SMOKE CHECK VERSION DRILL #2 2023 02 13 -
Instructions and DRILL Reports are HERE
Here is a photo of the actual mapping results for the DRILL: HERE
Pre-planned reports were done (as above) so that stations practice what
they are to say and how they are to say it. You will see that all
reports fill in each of the columns on Format Tango 4 (Here).
The station posting reports to the Map (Triangulation) was budgeted 10
seconds to post each report to the map and determine patterns while
posting so as to activate tacticals / actions that may
be advisable. (Budget is being revised to 5 seconds). Examples of
Actions may include activating a radio operator to
conduct a mobile search (Thumper Search), etc... .
We had 2 Areas Reporting: Midway and Village. Midway had
4 stations reporting: Village had 11 stations reporting (F1
F7 F2 F8 S1 S2 S6 S7
T10 B1 B6); and Stations which were QXX
included: i1 C1 L3, L4 AND MWM (REST AREA) FOR TOTAL
PARTICIPATING OF 20. Net Time total (including brief training
explanations was 17 minutes).
During Drill Village stations reports indicated a source
of smoke originating from the South West of the Village (or beyond
in that direction) (with Moderate smoke odor reported by T10). Observe
that along this same approx azimuth, (mapping above) other stations further down wind
reported only light smoke odor. Also, drill
"Spots" (concentrations of smoke) were reported to the South East
of the Village (see reports of B1 and B6). Such "spots"
may indicate smoke concentrations. Upon receiving reports
indicating smoke source direction and "spots", Tactical Rover (F7
volunteered) was
activated (which is a radio operator who is prepared to go mobile if a
mobile reporting station fails to report / respond. We then
activated Thumper Search (S1 volunteered - DRILL) who would go to Shasta Forest Drive
and Thumpber (Report in and set trip odometer to ZERO at such point) and then drive
West of Thumper to 44 and then East Bound to Shasta Forest Drive making
reports of smoke fire or embers. We Activated 44 Search (S6
volunteered - DRILL) which would go to Highway 44 and Shasta Forest Drive (Report in and set
trip odometer to ZERO at such point) and then go East bound on Highway
44 making reports of smoke fire or embers (advised to not go
past Wilson Hill and 44).
NOTE: No actual vehicles were dispatched
tonight as this was a training / Drill exercise.
Triangulation confirmed that both 44 Search and Thumper Search returned
to their respective QTH B and were secured. The non Village
reports (e.g., Midway) together with the Summary of the Village reports,
would also be posted to the Shingletown Map - Format Romeo 9A. By doing this,
a mapping summary is achieved for those areas participating with the
objective of locating sources of smoke which may be outside of a specific
Area. In an actual situation, once a suspect area is CONFIRMED, a
supplemental call to 911 would be made to Cal Fire advising them of the
suspect area. This way, Cal Fire doesn't have to drive an entire
neighborhood searching for the source(s) of smoke. A quicker response
means getting the fire out sooner.
TX (F1 / PDS) made on 58 Relay (505) asking for any Draft Smoke Check Tango
4 reports - but no Ham reports received from other areas. 760 (10)
was not used (Silent running) due to snow storm and need to conserve
batteries for emergency communications.
AFTER ACTION:
Midway did not hear Control (B1 in
Village).
1. Consideration is being given to a Tactical "Relay"
which would TX key information. This station should be located far
enough away from Control so that a different propagation pattern is
achieved.. Thus, a Station with good propagation (and good outside
antenna) must relay major communication summary points
out so that Midway, Longhollow etc..., are aware of the summary
situation (including deactivation of the Smoke Check Net). This would
apply to all activations.
2. Stations must all work to improve their outside antenna
situation. If other stations can't hear you then raise / move your
antenna. If you can't hear other stations, then raise / move your
antenna. Rubber duck antennas are NOT recommended. Outside antennas are
recommended. You are preparing for emergencies when you can expect
stress with nothing going
well and everything is going wrong. Emergencies are not going to
happen when everything is "perfect". By following procedures
we help stabilize and get into the routine.
3. Triangulation posting to Map(s): Change is to reduce budged from 10 seconds
to 5 - and place slips on map with proper azimuth without drawing colored
line (unless needed for finer adjustment). This saves time. The
objective is to quickly recognize patterns so that plans of action can
be made.
4. Consider starting the taking of Smoke Check reports right after
setting up tacticals and request for emergency traffic. However, stations must be sure to actually do the
reports by going outside. Expect some stations to come in sooner and
others later due to each stations situation.
5. We need more stations participating. Ask other responsible persons
to join but they must follow the procedures and be serious. We have a
great Radio communications TEAM.
6. If you have an outside antenna inside your house (or even
your HT with rubber ducky) be careful
when you move bookshelves, change the room that the antenna is in,
change the location of the radio,
etc..., because such can CHANGE your ability to send / receive from other
stations.
7. Improvements being made to Fmt Tango 4 Triangulation map slips
(used by Triangulation station).
8. Remember - reports by stations that smell no smoke may be CRITICAL
in determining source of smoke. You don't know the impact of your report
until mapping is pulling together all reports.
GREAT JOB TONIGHT !

This was an opportunity to practice the procedures to be used during
an Advisory (e.g., mapping; determining Lat / Long; determining
Internet Wind Direction and Wind speed near fire
location; Monitoring Cal fire on Dispatch and TAC 11;
determining if any Internet Cameras had visual on fires (non did in this
case); and also the difficulties on monitoring TAC 11 from the Village
Area when the Fire is as far to the East as these 2 were. We need
more Hams to help out. If you are thinking of becoming a Ham, please do
so, as your help is needed.
Remember the Camp
Fire: Its "most significant growth period was early (on a)
Thursday afternoon, when it grew 10,000 acres in about 90 minutes –
burning the equivalent of more than one football field every second
during that time. ( https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/09/us/california-wildfires-superlatives-wcx/index.html
)
NOTE: No TX was made on EROC 9 due to the location of the Fires and
the deemed low risk to Midway, Village, Long Hollow and Rest
Areas. Advisory was done on CH 10 for a general advisory for
Shingletown.

(760 Repeater ): The keying, malicious interference (including the
transmitting of false emergency alert tones) has continued
on the repeater frequencies. Accordingly, the decision has now been made
that changes to the repeater are required in order to be able to use
this asset for emergency communications. Only selected stations will
receive the updated frequency information. Active radio participation in
the SER Net Plan is one of the criteria for receiving the new frequency
information.
The above
hopefully will allow the repeater to be placed back into service
by those AREAS which are actively participating in the SER Program.
Active participation includes: radio reporting during weekly practice
nets, doing your best to monitor 24/7, and radio response to SER
radio activity, etc... . At present, we have not been able to use
this Large Area Asset due to the malicious interference.
Evidence
indicates that a Ham operator is one of the persons involved in causing
the malicious interference and destruction of this emergency
communications plan asset. |

During drill a

- introduction of "ROVER".
More
stations gave Tango 4 reports this week. That is good. This
allows stations to practice the format of their reports and how to give
the reports. Every station needs to do this so it become "second
nature".
After
Action / Plan improvements: Triangulation is to FIRST request
stations with visual fire smoke or smoke odor reports. These Mapping
tags are to be marked in red (Fill in ARROW on side of slip from
which wind is sourced). Triangulation is to IMMEDIATELY post such slips
to map. If area of concern is indicated then immediatley dispatch
search team (e.g., Bambi Search, Thumper Search, etc...). While
the Search Team(s) is / are working, Triangulation continues taking all
other reports and mapping.
Triangulation
could not copy Midway report. S6 provided relay of report from
Midway to Triangulation. Great job S6 (any station should step up and
help with relays).
What
if you don't smell smoke? Remember: the reports of stations
that do NOT smell any smoke, etc.. are CRITICAL to the process of
seeking to locate a suspect area which is the source of the smoke
(fire).
TOTAL
SMOKE CHECK NET TIME: 12 MINUTES.
Great
Job.

During drill a
brief lesson plan explanation was given.
Scripted smoke check reports were provided for this session to
allow stations to “refresh” themselves on how to report, and the
specific procedures. Also, the Triangulation station and Net Control
were testing a revised mapping system. This is part of the background
work being done that people don’t hear.
Also, a brief overview of the response to the Midway Emergency
Medical Situation was given. Monitoring Cal Fire 20 allowed alerting of
situation – male, age __, non responsive, [address]. Midway neighbors
(Radio Operators) made an all hands on deck response. This
included: a nurse going to
the scene; another person responded with a Defibrillator; and another person positioned himself on the street to guide Cal
Fire and the Ambulance to the exact location. All of that was done
BEFORE Cal Fire and the Ambulance arrived.
Please
keep Ron and his wife in our prayers and may he make a full recovery!
RESULTS OF
SMOKE CHECK TRIANGULATION:
The Drill identified a potential area to search for Drill Smoke. It
was located in the South Easterly Corner
of Village (and extending
south Easterly from such area).

OUTSIDE AND DO A SEARCH.
*MOBILE TEAMS
ARE TWO PERSON TEAMS, A DRIVER (FOCUS IS ON DRIVING, WATCHING OUT FOR
PEDESTRIANS AND EMERGENCY RESPONDERS); AND
A #2 PERSON WHO IS THE OBSERVER AND RADIO OPERATOR.
SEARCH TEAMS TO MAINTAIN RADIO CONTACT AND USE THEIR
ASSIGNED TACTICALS (E.G., SEARCH 1;

Preparation for SMOKE CHECK DRILL on Thursday - USING
FORMAT TANGO 4
Purpose of Drill - you smell smoke at 2:00 A.M. -
where is it? You called Cal fire and told them you
are in the Village (or whatever your area is).
When they arrive they are going to drive street by
street to find the source of smoke. We can do that work
by radio! We can then provide a supplemental
report to Cal Fire so when they arrive they are directed
to the potential source of the smoke.
For this DRILL just focus on the report which you are to
make.
Link containing instructions and YOUR DRILL REPORT IS
HERE
Please review the above which is your
focus - just find your report.

IMPACT - AREA OUTAGE
APPARENTLY LIMITED TO VILLAGE: No ability to call 911 for those who only
have Frontier Land Line. Any station with emergency traffic, use
EROC 9 and request relay call to 911.
Also, K6PDS Used EROC 58 (HAM - (high power) in attempt to reach other
Shingletown Hams as to status of their areas - no response (at the time
seeking more information to provide to Frontier).
NOTE: F1 / K6PDS Contacted Frontier - 3 calls about 1 1/2
hours. ... this included my giving Frontier a phone number for
another village resident, as they requested. But, the
Supervisor at Frontier then lied to me about the status of other areas
having outages (he claimed a large amount of outages in our area - other
than the Village). When I requested that he actually check Shasta
County, he then came back and said there were none. The Supervisor at
Frontier then falsified the Frontier reporting documentation and stated
there was no area outage for my Area. A prior Frontier
representative stated that there was an Area Outage, and apparently the
Frontier Supervisor went in and modified and falsified the Frontier
records to show no Area outage (in my final call the reference to an
Area Outage had been removed from the Frontier system). I spent
about 1 1/2 hour on this with Frontier.
I understand that at least 4 Village stations called Frontier and
reported the NO DIAL TONE. Frontier denied there was an area
outage for them also. Unknown how many others contacted Frontier and
reported Area Outage..
Status updates:
1/15/2023 1825 hours - FRONTIER LAND LINE - NO DIAL TONE
