11/19/2021 Practice Net 760 Repeater - UPDATED:
Our Net Agenda
was for situation reports only (Format Tango 9A –
Hams; and Tango 9M - non hams).
The
SER Plan has a goal of processing 100+ Station Reports and
have reporting from approximately
20 different Areas / Neighborhoods. In
order to “stress test” the SER Ham net processing, and
practice for higher volume, we
are now including DRILL AREA REPORTS in the SER Nets. This
will increase the number of Individual Area Reports being
received by the Ham Net Control (i.e., the reports relayed
into the Ham Net from Areas/Neighborhoods). WHY?
Because these are the reports which require the SER Ham
Net to : Record each Area Report; Assign a control number;
post and process
each report on Mapping Board (which is done by the NCS and
each Ham Mapping Station);
prepare report summary; reconcile the report
summary; perform Analysis;
and have
Net Control to
make Recommendations for Actions to be taken
or not taken. Drill
reports may include such matters as: communication
failures, earthquakes,
etc…
. The more
efficient the Area /Neighborhoods are run (i.e., all base
level reporting done in each Area
Net following the SER Pan), will facilitate overall Ham
and Area/Neighborhood reporting.
For this Practice Session,
the Summary of Reports (all actual reports were QXA; some
of the Drill Reports were for complete communications
failure with no assistance needed) follows :

if you can’t reach the repeater – try the 505
relay net (simplex as an option). Also, try
adjusting o/s antenna as to location and/or
height.

respective CH 1’s); Ham Nets on Primary -760 and
Relay-505; and standard Ham Net infrastructure
Tacticals); reporting, summary and NC recommended

During this Practice Session, one ham station
conducted all of the following
operations: SER Ham Net Control; 505 Relay Control;
Mapping 1; Cal Fire Monitor; 160 TC; and acted as
Area Coordinator for Village with inter-area relay.
WE NEED MORE HELP, BUT, THIS SHOWS HOW THE SER SYSTEM AND
FORMATS WORK EFFICIENTLY AND RAPIDLY.
PLEASE HAVE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD JOIN IN. YOUR
INDIVIDUAL NEIGHBORHOOD SITREP NET SHOULD ONLY TAKE YOUR
NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT 9 MINUTES TOTAL Emergency Activations
will required additional time.
WE NEED MORE HAM RADIO OPERATORS TO HELP OUT AND
FOLLOW THE SER PLAN.
Thank you.

911 FAILURE FOR SHINGLETOWN. Reports of
dialing 911 from Frontier Land Line and you get
" ...all circuits are busy please try your call
later". Such reports made from several areas,
including: Hayflat; Bible Belt, Circle K. K6PDS
called dispatch and arranged for a test 911 call from
the Village (Frontier Land Line) - result same
...all circuits are busy please try your call
later". Dispatch advised it has not received
any report from Frontier yet. Other Hams reported
this problem has been existing for a while (exact time
frame not reported).
QWI
- Information advisory issued on 760 and Village Ch
1.
NON
HAMS: IF YOU HEAR AN EMERGENCY CALL ON HAM FREQUENCY,
AND NO HAMS RESPOND THEN YOU SHOULD ANSWER THE CALL AND
ASSIST. THAT WOULD BE CH 55 OR CH 58, DEPENDING ON WHICH
FREQUENCY CALL CAME IN ON. |

Emergency Communications Plan - just plug in.
The SER System Coordinates Ham Nets AND Individual
Neighborhood Nets. This coordination has planned out
approximately 20 individual neighborhoods. Under the SER
System, each neighborhood Net is running at the same
time as the other Neighborhood Nets. Each is on a
coordinated frequency so that neighborhoods don't
obstruct another neighborhoods reporting.
Next,
under the SER Plan, the individual Neighborhood reports
(detailed factual reporting) are combined through relay
procedures into the Ham Net.. The Ham Net then Maps,
transmits the summary Mapping results, and makes
recommendation(s) as to course(s) of action or no
action, based upon the reports.
This
can be done in less than about 25 minutes and can cover
about 150 square miles. All Areas can thus obtain
overall situation awareness for all other Neighborhoods
reporting in Shingletown. Operations include: Fires,
ember checks, smoke checks, Power Outages, Communication
failures, earthquakes, and more. Not all areas have
taken advantage of the SER Plan. Why not join into a
System that works. Just follow the SER Plan. Nathan
