catching up = Neil I will be sure to do that next time. the crew was stretched out, which
was a good exercise itself. We jumped back between the BU-n GRMS channels, CMD31, and CMD31D,
as listeners may of noticed.

And thanks all for chiming in when you could.

We also managed to get some traffic through our dorky GRMS repeater once we were
above…[Read more]

Thanks Peter, that’s very easy to understand. It’s a keeper. I’m now motivated to start checking out
how CMD33 would work as I am wandering around down here.

May I share this overview with our Butano group, as much as for licensing inspiration as anything? With attribution of course, but perhaps no email addr so you are not awash with more…[Read more]

Pat&David,
if you would like to sign me up for any ol’ time please do so.
I would be happy to help out.

Mr. Neil, I can lend help … later Saturday Afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. ( I have BCMWC board Sat Morning and lumber delivery Monday )
I can bring a variety of hand tools / battery powered tools. LMK what works out.

( hmm odd forum behavior, submitting again)

very interesting – were these new 505’s? ( new-ish )
I ask as I’m looking for something a nitch notch nibble above the BaoFengs used throughout the Canyon.

also was that Deanna of Asa & Deanna? first house on the right past the bridge?

well, Pat, it would really be great if she were more clear about this stuff.

Sorry for the noise, back to the background.

From PG&E re PSPS: “weather models are solidifying and on-track for a PSPS event starting late tonight, Wednesday Oct14, with full restoration being pushed into Friday, Oct16.”
Hills just east of Half Moon Bay, along Hwy92 and south into the La Honda and Loma Mar areas. # affected in the 1,600 range (Updated inf…[Read more]

We just heard from Jonathan Cox that there will be a PG&E relief center in La Honda during the outage. ( PMAC meeting )

This FOG is amazing. I am duly impressed.

Sorry can’t participate, we’re having lots of ‘fun’ over in the Canyon, and have a community meetings each of the next few weekends. same w/the previous simplex drill. Months ago I had our BERT crew warmed up for this shakeout but events have interceded.

Question WRT FOG; in the channel plan I see the…[Read more]

Yes they popped right back with that when I CC’ed RCD on a PMAC mail to the county, asking for recovery preparation workshops ( fema, insuranace etc ) down in Pescadero.

very nice to see.

the firesafe council distributed a ‘mega resource sheet’ yesterday as well. happy to forward it, but y’all are busy enough I’m sure.

thanks, passing that along to the High School

I won’t be participating in this, but I’ll listen in from B’mont.

To Neil’s point – I participated last year with a subaru / ups setup out by KPDO. I was totally surprised at who one could hear via simplex. The most surprising was a fire station at SFO. ( it was actually a strange relief )

That’s cool, Neil. My VX-6r got stolen the other night in a neighborhood wide set of breakins and openings and I’m thinking about another HT. The FT-60 seems to be a local favorite, and interoperability would help.
thanks Bob for writing something such as this up.

Hi Folks,
I’m rolling in Sunday for the day – any practical information for me other than the preceding bits? wisdome gained from the current field? are the ChipperProtesters active? More tire slashing? etc. I have gnarly hydrogenperoxid wipes, should I bring them along in their festive packaging? is the tent 6’x(NpersonStaffing) wide, or should I…[Read more]

as a self-appointed outlier I use these:

of which I have two in duty.These are allegedly intended for radio comms.

I also use a different open frame MeanWell power supply but it’s sorta scary.
all so far are fine; you’ve…[Read more]

Angelo, Mary, Mike, and Neil –

Thanks for all the help during this afternoon’s RigPi / VOIP / Wireguard shake down.
it was very encouraging.

( back it it again. still in belmont still in meetings! )

ok at Eva’s suggestion I did scan through the rest of the operating guide, what a work!

found the operations schedule. thanks.

Bob, how about I / we pop in around Sat 11:30. That allows some time and then I can scoot back into the canyon for the zoomer.
Neil, after 5 saturday sounds…[Read more]
