After Action: USED EROC 56 WITH WILSON HILL. HAD Q4 COMMS BOTH DIRECTIONS (CONTROL AND SWE). WE ARE CONTINUING TO DO TRAINING BY HAVING: MAPPING 2; AND 9 RELAY WEST. Next week will plan on Drill Mobile Evacuation Net. Back up Repeater is still in process.

2025 03 10 - 1253 hours Frontier Internet failure (S6 and F1). F1 drove to Frontier Comms Box on Shasta Forest Drive. Technician working on system. 1300 hours Frontier Land Line and Internet restored to service.

2025 03 10 - FRONTIER AREA (VILLAGE) LAND LINE FAILURE (discovered 1100 hours) - NO DIAL TONE - VILLAGE (F1 S6 I1 E1); G7 doesn't use frontier; Midway - Frontier LL operational. SWE - Wilson Hill operational.AI6D also responded from Redding. Thus, AREA outage limited to VILLAGE. Called Frontier - they denied outage. I WAS SUBJECTED TO RUN AROUND WITH FRONTIER. I EXPLAINED 400 HOMES IN VILLAGE WITH LAND LINE FAILURE AND NO ONE CAN DIAL 911. FRONTIER "CREATED A REPORT" AND FRONTIER WILL LOOK INTO WHETHER THERE IS AN OUTAGE (BUT NO OUTAGE SHOWING PER FRONTIER). FRONTIER SHOULD BE SUED IF SOMEONE CAN'T DIAL 911 AND DIES.

After Action: USED EROC 56 WITH WILSON HILL. HAD Q5 COMMS BOTH DIRECTIONS (CONTROL AND SWE). HAS BEEN SUNNY LAST FEW DAYS. SWE WILL DETERMINE IF CAN INPUT TSQ IN HIS RADIO. PDS IS WORKING ON BACK UP REPEATER (IN PROCESS). TESTING OF REPEATER ANTENNA LOCATION APPEARS VERY GOOD FOR PARTICIPATING STATIONS / AREAS.

After Action: Note: We have had major storms today and substantial snow. We did the “new” script. It shows more detail so that stations have more instruction. The “new” script reflects the modifications and improvements done since the prior version. 55 Summary and 56 Summary were deleted from Plan based on Net Ops Practice. We do NOT have enough help to perform the bullet point summary (e.g., 55 Summary; 56 Summary) for others not participating. During nets, F1 (ham) is performing 4 functions (with 3 radios) and if we had an emergency the workload may have to increase by at least 1 or 2 more radios and other tacticals (e.g., camera, winds, Triangulation, et…). Such is too much. We will only be able to do summaries on the Frequencies that we conduct Net Operations. We have to focus on the people / Areas who are helping to do the work. More stations are stepping up to perform functions. That is good. Moving from 58 to 56 (or visa versa) may improve ability to copy Wilson Hill Sites propagation is still bad (difficult terrain). Sites did not copy 9 Relay East. Sites had 7” of snow (antenna covered by ice & snow). Sites and Wilson Hill were Q4 / Q5 both ways on Eroc 56. MW1 did NOT hear 9 Relay West.
