AFTER ACTION
COMMENTS:
Had some difficulties with all stations
being on revised comms plan (which has been required
due to intentional / malicious radio interference on
prior plan). After Net, Cal fire toned out a smoke
check in Village. It was good that we practiced
because stations performed very well doing a Smoke
Check on EROC 9.
|
|
|
05/25/2022 - working on improvement to Emergency Comms Plan on
760. Immediately malicious interference was
encountered - immediate keying with no identification
following by holding down PTT and transmitting over 760
the weather Channel. This is a person who has the
radio right near them, and has two radios.

05/23/2022
Village Land Line Failure (no dial tone - thus no ability
to call 911 or receive reverse 911 call).
Dial Tone restored early afternoon. Thank you to
those on frequency and to Peggy for contacting
Frontier. Note: During
Land Line Failure (no dial tone) we had maliciousl keying
on Village Channel 9 (Murs)- holding PTT down, no identifier,
repeated several times and MCW (electronic keyer, possibly
a Bencher Iambic type).
Source of malicious interference appears to be
a local Ham operator in/near the Village
Emergency Operations Center. A few local Hams
destroyed the Overall SER Plan for Shingletown; now at
least one ham is continuing to destroy the remaining
smaller based Emergency Operations Center.

At this time, the BARE MINIMUM
frequencies to SCAN are:
EROC 1 AND
EROC
14 (ALERT)
Only LEVEL 2 operators and above
have such. This is because of the
malicious interference.
Long Hollow and Midway,
please call me on phone regarding the
above.
This substantially
diminishes the alerting system that was
built into the SER Plan from the
beginning. But, this is needed in order
to have at least some type of team on
frequencies 24 / 7.
For those who recognize
that these simplex frequencies have
substantial limitations in our mountain
area, they will recognize the loss.
For those who think they
know everything about which they know
nothing, it won't mean anything.
The Pot smokers and their
ilk can take their victory lap now. at
least until we get hit with a fire
storm.

5/5/2022 - the RIPCORD Exercise (initial
practice) was cancelled.
Intentional
Radio interference continues. At present major Key
stations are adapting to more limited means of
monitoring. They can no longer continue being subjected
to being awakened in the middle of the night,
etc.. . The significance of this is totally missed
by most. The concept is so obvious and logical - if no
one is listening at 2:00 A.M., when the big one hits and
reverse 911 is down, then no one gets
alerted. The cumulative negative impact on
emergency communications will be felt. But, it
will be too late. At present, it looks like
Shingletown may be the next Paradise. Those
causing the interference and destruction of the
Emergency Radio Plan will then most likely be the
loudest voices from the ruble. |

- EROC operations Frequency Modification.
Due to continued harassment, changes have now had to be
made to the EROC operational frequencies. The
psycho woman doing this evil is obviously receiving some
"coaching" on what to do and how. But, she has
left some unintended "finger prints" and
indicators. The first Ham attacks were led by a
few and destroyed an alerting system that served over
100 TO 150 Square miles in seconds. That has essentially
been destroyed.. Now, the key AREA that is
attempting to run the remaining operations is under
attack. The SER program has as its purpose the providing
of emergency communications so Shingletown residents so
they have warning about wildfires, evacuations,
etc... . This fire season is going to be
very rough. Hopefully, we make it through. There
is a lot of rough seas ahead. . Thank you to those few
dedicated Hams and Non Hams who are helping out. |

| Advisory
- Planned Practice Exercise: We are
planning a DRILL practice exercise which will involve
taking SITUATION REPORTS; CONDUCTING QWA
PROCEDURES (I.E., CHECKING FOR SUSPECT SMOKE, FIRE, AND
/ OR EMBERS); DURING AND PART OF A DRILL FIRE
NET. All of these Emergency Radio Procedures will
be concurrently employed during this Practice Exercise.
The Drill Fire Net will have drill activations for
Tacticals, including: Cal Fire Monitor; Mapping;
Triangulation; Inks Camera; Air Ops, Flight
Radar; TAC 11 Monitor; and Ground
Team. QWA reports will made during pauses in
the Fire Net reporting, so as to provide information as
to other areas which may be showing Drill Suspect Smoke,
Fire and/or Embers. Remember, the "Known"
Drill Fire is not "suspect smoke or fire".
Rather, you are being alert for any other Fires, Smoke
or Embers which may be starting during an active Fire.
Situation reports will also be done for the purpose of
knowing which areas may be without power, have no cell
service, no telephone, unable to dial 911 etc...
. Fire Control will issue Bullet Point
Summaries on the Primary Net Frequency which are to be
relayed over the 760 repeater. Each report will be
prefaced with "DRILL".
In Preparation, all stations should review and become
familiar with the Incident Resource Page HERE
Since this will be a DRILL, the primary frequency
will be Vill 1 (with Relays to/from 760. This is because
the Village is the Emergency Radio Operations
Center. EROC TEAM Ham and Non Ham
Volunteers are asked to please participate.
Please note that in the event of an actual
activation, it may be necessary for the EROC Team Ham
and Non Ham Volunteers to conducted Fire Net l
operations on 760 (Ch 55 - the Ham repeater).
Next week is too early for the above exercise.
We may conduct a "Mini" Drill of the above in
advance. It may be several weeks before the Full
excrcise. EROC Team Volunteers will be needed to
fill the Tactical operations. Please help out. |

MARCH
27, 2022 - ADVISORY OF PRACTICE
EXERCISE:
DEAR RADIO OPERATORS:
Next Thursday our practice net will
include a DRILL involving passing of
emergency traffic.
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
Net Control, Mapping, Cal Fire Monitor,
760 relay, etc...) to advise Net
Control that they can make the call
(after Net Control makes the request).
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 into Net Control that the
Drill 911 call was made. Cal Fire
Monitor is to also report to Net 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 situation reports (which are
actual reports) and QWA reports (which
are actual reports).
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.
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 step in, follow the plan, and
help out so we can keep it going.
Fire Season is here.
Thank you.
Nathan

1/282022 1940 hours - Village area
Frontier Land line failure - no dial tone (Village CH 1 reports - all Frontier Land Lines
- no dial tone). Frontier contacted via cell.
Frontier not aware of failure. Escalated to Manager
who advised will issue common cause and escalate.. During
the LL Failure malicious playing of music on
505. As of 2359 hours, Village
still subject to Frontier complete Land Line Failure
(thus, lack of ability to receive reverse 911 and make 911
calls on Frontier Land Line). 1/29/2022
midnight 08 hours - Frontier Village Area still subject to
complete Land Line failure. 1/29/2022 1000
hours - Frontier Village Area still subject to
complete Land Line failure. Village F1 called
Frontier - no outage per Frontier (using cell phone).
Frontier wrong - No Village phones had Land Line. Then
during argument with Frontier Village radio reports
came in with reports of - Land Lines now restored, then
Land lines off, some on some off , then on, etc.. .
Finally at approx 1050 hours all Village LL operating (at
least for now). Frontier is going out Monday to inspect
their substation for problems. End.

1/27/2022
IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION SER PLAN:
Due to routine
intentional interference and malicious blocking of
emergency communications, and the non participation of
Shingletown Areas (hams and non hams) the SER Plan
will now encompasses ONLY 3 specific NEIGHBORHOOD AREAS
(Village, Midway, and Long Hollow) PLUS - Hams
reporting from- Battle Creek and Rest Area. THE 760 REPEATER IS NOW A CLOSED REPEATER. The
SER Plan will no longer seek to coordinate any other
Areas!
Areas
Reporting were: Village (13 stations); Midway (3
stations); and Long Hollow (1 station).
Tonight, 1/27/2022) we only had one Ham who to work the ham net while concurrently working
an Active Fire Situation in Shingletown. The Fires were
toned out by Cal Fire just shortly before 1900 hours
(which was the practice net start time). Requests for
Ham assistance were ignored. Malicious interference with
the emergency nets compounded the situation. Poor
propagation made it more difficult for this single Ham
station who was acting as Net Control, Area Coordinator,
Mapping Station, Triangulation, Tac 11,
camera, and while working 3 other
frequencies.
We have only 4 hams (including myself) who have been
working this SER system. Those dedicated few
have helped out a lot and their help is greatly
appreciated. They couldn't be here tonight. But,
in their absence, none on the local Shingletown Ham
"Club" members bothered to help out.
Disgusting! So much for the "Emergency
Service" aspect of Ham radio.
Combine the stress of the above with the fact that some
moron obstructed both the Village net and the Ham nets
tonight during an Active Fire.
In this regard, if anyone knows the name and identify
of this individual who obstructed the nets tonight, and
will sign a proper affidavit, I am offering a $150.00
Reward to the first person who comes forward and
provides the proper signed affidavit. This offer expires
on February 29, 2022. You must have personal knowledge
of the person and their actions and sign the appropriate
affidavit. This offer also extends to the
individual(s) who broadcast yesterday the Weather
Channel alerts, etc..., repeatedly on the 760
repeater.
Effective
immediately, future SER Nets will be for the
specific 3
neighborhood areas. Such are the Areas on
frequency and reporting. OTHER AREAS HAVE NOT
COORDINATED OR ORGANIZED, AND DO NOT ASSIST.
WORKING TO
COORDINATE HAS BECOME FUTILE AND NON PRODUCTIVE. THE
DESTRUCTIVE ACTIONS OF SPECIFIC LOCAL HAMS AND NON
HAMS HAS CAUSED THIS SITUATION. IT IS CLEAR THAT,
EXCEPT FOR A FEW HAMS, THE OTHER SHINGLETOWN HAMS WILL
NOT COME THE THE AID OF SHINGLETOWN EVEN WHEN FACED WITH
FIRES, EVACUATIONS, AND LIFE AND DEATH
EMERGENCIES. REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE IN EMERGENCY
SITUATIONS HAVE BEEN IGNORED, AND EVEN INTERFERED WITH.
THE SER SYSTEM HAS OPERATED TO ACTIVATE OVER 100
SQUARE MILES WITHIN SECONDS - AND IT HAS BEEN DESTROYED.
NO OTHER EMERGENCY RADIO SYSTEM EXISTED IN SHINGLETOWN
BEFORE THE SER PLAN.
As a
result, the 760
Repeater is now a CLOSED repeater. If there is
the continuation of the malicious interference (e.g.,
keying pf repeater; keying followed by loud radio
/ TV in background; keying and transmitting weather
channel information while sending false emergency signal
tones; keying at 2:00 AM. ... 4:00 AM... etc..., in the
morning waking people up; blocking of radio
traffic during actual emergencies ( e.g., forest
fires ... etc...)), the repeater will simply
be turned off. Such transmissions are a clear
violation of FCC rules.
Certain
specific Hams will be granted permission to use the 760.
The few specific Areas, for which the SER Plan will
continue, are now forced to determine how to conduct
emergency communications in order to avoid what
has become routine intentional interference and
malicious blocking of communications.
|
|
1/23/2022:
SER
Team Member Areas:
Midway
( NON HAMS);
Long
Hollow (NON HAMS);
Village
(KB6BZL, KE6PCR, K6PDS,
AND NON HAMS);
Rest
Area (W6MWM AND NON HAMS);
Battle
Creek (KQ6CS AND NON HAMS).
The
SER Plan will seek to prioritize Inter-Area Mutual
Assistance for SER TEAM MEMBER AREAS.
Participation is essential for this to work.
Non
Ham SER
Team Members, in these SER Team Areas, are asked to be prepared to
help out on Ham Frequencies when requested in order to perform
emergency life saving tactical functions. We simply don't have enough
Hams who help out for forest fires and other emergencies.
Participation
is necessary for this emergency communication system to
work.

1/22/2022:
This evening, a random
monitoring check was done for the Village -
on Village 1.
The Village Area had 8 people who immediately responded
on Frequency (dispersed throughout the entire Village
Area). GREAT JOB VILLAGE.
This compares to the Ham Net Monitoring Check earlier
today where only 1 Ham (W6MWM) responded. And, no
non Hams answered the call to provide an e-mail response
(e.g., "scanning and heard you").
One ( 1) response out of approximately 200+ radios
is not ..... good.
WOW: GOOD THING WE DON'T HAVE
A FIRE SUCH AS THE ONE BURNING RIGHT NOW IN BIG SUR,
which
began around 7:30 p.m. Friday and, by
Saturday morning, had burned 1,500 acres... 5%
contained, ... mandatory evacuations. In
Shingletown we have no rain and high winds... .
For this to work and continue, we
all need to participate.
Again, Great Job Village and Rest Area
(W6MWM).

01/15/2022:
Format Tango 9A revised. Destroy all prior
versions.
Format
updated for confirming changes.
During our 1/13/2022
SER practice net (report is HERE), we conducted a Drill with a Drill
Area reporting an Earthquake of /M8 (buildings
collapse); and also reporting a complete communications
failure; need for food and water for 20 people, together
with request for a neighborhood communications center.
Also the Drill Area conducted a Brevity QWA procedure
(which after a massive earthquake would be a good
idea) to determine if there was any suspect smoke,
fire or embers. Format added the "/NR___"
Q code qualifier code for "number" (e.g.,
" /N4 /NR 20") and a few other items
facilitating rapid recordation by Ham Mapping and Net
Control Stations. During the net, two relays of this
report were done (i.e., once from the neighborhood into
the Ham net and again between Ham control stations).
Reports were all mapped and summarized with Net Control
Recommendations.
The
report for the above was "Fmt Tango 9A
Div 5 North Area: Drill 1, STNS
reporting 15, QTH N
/F /M8 / N4 /NR 20
/N5
/NR 20 /R1 QWA
end"
Using
this system, the Mapping and Control stations are able to
merely check boxes with minimum writing, so time can be
expended reviewing all reports and spending energy
determining what to do - not scribbling down notes for say
12 different areas and then mapping them while relaying
the reports, etc... .
If
the Drill had been an actual event, then a request would
have been made that all Shingletown Stations report back
(from their Ch1 nets) as to what amounts of food,
water, and radio operators they could supply.
Coordination of supplies, deliveries, and resources would
then need to be made. Separate sub nets may be required to
facilitate and coordinate. These operators would be
coordinated with SER Net Control and SER HQ Stations. But,
we have only a few Hams, and if they are not
available? Then what happens?
Well.
yes we need more Hams. BUT THE IMMEDIATE SITUATION
RESPONSE IS CLEAR. NON HAMS need to become
proficient in how the system works. If Hams are not
present, you may be needed to step in to save lives.
And yes, that could include your life and/or a family
member in the devastated area which is 15 miles away from
you. How can we help mom and dad who are 15 miles away and
had buildings collapse in their neighborhood and all other
forms of communications have failed. Well,
here is an option for you. We will also be
practicing Welfare Checks between different Areas /
Neighborhoods in Shingletown.

01/08/2022 –
approx 2300 hours Cal Fire Tone out – Shasta Forest
Village – Residential structure fire
30681 Figaro. SER
Tone out - Full Village Area Fire Net activation on
Village Ch 1.
Village F1 went mobile to scene (SOS strobe flash
activated on Vehicle to assist responding Cal Fire units
to specific address). F1 determined (interview of
residents at scene) all residents at fire location had
evacuated residence, and reported no spread to vegetation.
Village F7 and Village S1 handled Village Fire Net.
Cal Fire Dispatch and CDF Tac 11. Cal
Fire thereafter arrived on scene. Cal Fire - Fire knocked
down (2310 hours). Radio
Request for portable electrical heater made on Village Ch
1 – Village
Bravo 3 volunteered use of heater.
Thereafter, heater request cancelled, Cal Fire
advised house not habitable tonight. Persons at house will
spend night at neighbors.
Village Fire Net deactivated approx 2325 hours.
01/08/2022 -

QWI Advisory issued on 505.
In Area of 7604
Arbor Lane (Sites Road Area).
Cal Fire Responding. Cal Fire advised on scene /
electrical wire down … PG&E on scene.

01/ 06/ 2022 Simplex Practice Net: Total Time
20 Minutes (3 Divisions; 4 Areas; 17 Stn Reports).
We used Net Control Station with 2 Relay Stations due
to propagation problems.
Please read the After Action Points. Every one can
learn from our practices.
We are currently using Tacticals for Relay Stations as
follows: Relay East, Relay North, etc..
Considering changing Relay Tacticals to identifying the
Area of the Relay Station - thus: "Relay
Village"; "Relay Battle Creek",
etc... . . Please provide comments. Idea is so
stations know the location of the transmitting station
they are hearing.
More Non Hams need to report by e-mail as to what they
hear so we can improve.
Don't wait for a disaster or Forest Fire to Happen.
Help out now. SEE REPORT HERE

Glen Incident. Shingletown
Fire - 1416 hours: SER Net QWI advisory transmit on
505 (760 low battery 12.0 v snow / ice). Residential
Structure Fire in area of 28693 Glen Oaks Road (approx -121.993
40.496). In
Area southernly of
Highway 44 and Black Butte Road. Approx less than
1.5 Miles westerly of Area Midway.
Cal Fire Responded and on scene. TAC 11. Power
lines down at scene. PG&E ETA
1515 hours. Periodic SER Net Advisory TX issued.
1457 hours – Fire Knocked down per Cal Fire. Advisory

12/29/2021 Approx. 1430 hours - Random
Monitoring / Propagation Test done on 505 (since saving
760 batteries for emergency traffic).
760 may go offline when the batteries run out.
This is one of the reasons for the Scan PLAN: i.e.,
scanning your ch 1, Ch 10 (760) and Ch 13
(505) scanning.
Responses were as follows:
1. Midway (on Village Ch 1)
2. Village - one Station F 7 (Village Ch 1).
3, Rest Area (W6MWM).
No other responses. ...
We have a person repeatedly hitting the 760
machine (TV / radio in background). If you know who this
is, please ask them to stop. Such reduces the batteries
and the repeater will shut down sooner - thus, not
available for emergency traffic.

12/16/2021 Practice Net: Total Time 13
Mintutes! SEE REPORT HERE
AFTER ACTION POINTS:
1.
All
STATIONS NEED TO WORK ON THEIR OUTSIDE ANTENNAS FOR
SIMPLEX.
2.
ALL
STATIONS SHOULD HAVE BATTERY BACKUP OR OTHER MEANS TO KEEP
RADIOS ON
24/7 WHEN THERE ARE
PG&E OUTAGES.
3. WE HAD MULTIPLE
NEIGHBORHOODS (THEY
DIDN’T REPORT IN TONIGHT) WITHOUT ELECTRICAL,
WITHOUT TELEPHONE, WITHOUT INTERNET, DOWNED POWER
LINES, ETC…
4.
760 REPEATER
NOT USED TONIGHT AS PRIMARY. REASON-TO CONSERVE BATTERY
FOR ANY
EMERGENCY TRAFFIC
(SILENT
MONITORING DURING NET).
5.
WAKE UP
CALL: STATIONS TURNING OFF RADIOS TO SAVE BATTERY DURING
POWER OUTAGES TOTALLY DEFEATS THE
CONCEPT OF EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS.
SOMEONE HAS TO BE ON FREQUENCY AT THE TIME YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY!
6.
NON HAMS WILL BE CRITICAL DURING AN EMERGENCY AS WE
DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH HAM
OPERATORS HELPING SHINGLETOWN DURING EMERGENCIES.
THUS, WE ALL MUST PRACTICE.
|
|
12/15/2021 - 1110 HOURS: Monitoring Check on 505.
Result - No response from any HAM. Winter storm
conditions exist: snow, power outages, no cell phone, no
internet in various areas etc... . (Note: BZL later
responded on 505 that he was in the shop and heard me on
the scanner).
AFTER ACTION POINTS:
1. NON HAMS - PLEASE BE READY TO
RESPOND. YOU MAY BE A VITAL RESOURCE FOR EMERGENCY
COMMUNICATIONS. USE CH 55 AND CH 58 FOR EMERGENCY
TRANSMIT. RELAYS MAY BE NEEDED.
2. Outside antennas are very important.
3. An Emergency Communications system is only as
good as our participation.

12/9/2021 SHINGLETOWN EMERGENCY RADIO -
Practice Nets:
Our
SER practice Nets tonight included a non ham station in
the Village relaying 3 Drill
reports to the Village Area Coordinator. This shows
how a Non Ham in a neighborhood net can facilitate
communications for reports they receive from other
neighborhoods outside his/her own area (this can of course
also be done for relays within your own area). The Village
Area Coordinator in turn relayed these 3 Drill reports
into the Ham net for mapping, etc... .
We
covered (drill and actual): 7 Divisions; 11 Area
Neighborhoods; 48 station reports completed in 26 minutes.
See Report HERE

12/02/2021 SHINGLETOWN EMERGENCY RADIO
- Practice Net WITH actual Fire
Net Activation during net - 760 Repeater:
Our Practice Net Agenda
was for situation reports (actual and Drill)
including determining Neighborhood needs and conditions
due to having (DRILL): no electricity, no telephone land
lines, no cell phone, no internet, no 911 services;
earthquake with
magnitudes; together with certain areas in need of
drinking water. All
of his was done while we simultaneously conducted an Active Fire Net due to an actual Fire with explosions (Fern
Incident) that was toned out by Cal Fire during our Net.
In addition to the Fire Net,
we processed (Actual and Drill) 90
individual station reports covering 15
neighborhoods. Our net (Situation
Reports and Fire
Net) was completed in approximately 60
minutes
FIRE
NET - (FERN
INCIDENT) - Fern Road East – grow houses – two large
outbuildings on fire. Multiple
explosions, … The SER net activated Fire Net procedures
during Situation Report Net. Such Fire Net took a large
amount of the Net Time. The Fire Net was deactivated after
reports as to the Fires Location, and after monitoring TAC
11, monitoring Round Mountain camera, estimating fire
location and mapping (fire north of the Shingletown Core),
and concluding no present risk to Shingletown Core Area.
During this Net, including the Fire Net, all
situation reports were taken, Neighborhood conditions and
needs (drinking water) reported and mapped.
This was a very busy net. SEE
REPORT HERE

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 :
