THANK YOU - EMERGENCY
RADIO OPERATIONS CENTER TEAM !
PUBLIC CAN LISTEN TO NETS ON
CHANNEL 10,
CHANNEL 13,
OR CHANNEL 9,
AS INSTRUCTED BY EROC TEAM NET CONTROL STATIONS. AREAS
conduct Area specific operations on their previously allocated
Channel 1. If AREAS desire to participate in the
Overall Shingletown Emergency Radio Net, they must
follow SER Procedures.
WARNING
(5/11/2022): Due to malicious interference
on Channel 10 (55), stations may only be able to listen, but not
transmit.
As of 1/27/2022, the SER Plan has been
modified to establish a volunteer Emergency Radio Operations
Center TEAM (EROC TEAM) with a purpose to continue
conducting regular practice drills and practices, and
conduct emergency communications. Since
the takeover attempt , etc..., we have had to recognize the
resulting SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED radio response and Area
assistance the SER Plan previously had. . The Area COORDINATION
goals for emergency wild fire (and other emergency) tone outs
have thus been reduced to reflect this reality. Only limited Areas are
presently being coordinated. Other
Areas, and Hams, are not participating and have not been
helping. Read more HERE.
At
present, we have a great team of selected volunteer Hams and Non Hams who
regularly participate. This EROC TEAM is our focus for seeking
to achieve an Activation Ready group that can conduct and run
emergency radio communications (both on Ham and Area
Nets). Assistance is still needed.
THIS
WEB SITE IS THE ONLY OFFICIAL PLAN SOURCE OF INFORMATION.

GMRS
License. GMRS shares FRS frequencies. If you have a
GMRS license, and use high power (e.g., 50 watts) on a "
GMRS ' frequency, you may jeopardize a neighborhood
emergency net which was allocated that frequency. Purpose
of the SER plan is to allow individual neighborhoods to operate
emergency nets without interference from other neighborhoods
operating at the exact same time during an emergency. The
frequency coordination between all neighborhoods is critical and
cooperation is essential. Under the SER Plan, Higher power operations
(e.g., 10 watts, 30 watts, 50 watts, etc... ) is more appropriate on SER Ham
Frequencies [used to coordinate all neighborhoods through Area
Coordinators (Hams)]. Please consider obtaining your Ham
license.
How do I get my GMRS license? General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) Filing

ROMEO 14H - Ham Simplex 505 -
Propagation and Map Section reference. ALERT:
As of July, 2021, most existing hams are not
involved with Shingletown wildfire emergency
communications. We need more Hams that have an
interest in helping all of Shingletown as we are
confronted by the HIGH LEVEL OF DANGER WHICH WE ALL FACE
AT THIS VERY MOMENT. WE NEED NEW HAMS.
Testing of propagation is critical to determine stations
that can act as Fire Controls and Relays on Simplex 505
in the event the 760 repeater is not available (e.g.,
burned off the mountain, mechanical failure, etc...). At
this time there are only 4 Hams that are helping in our
weekly practice drills. If HAMS are not available during
an emergency, then non hams MUST be prepared to step up
to the plate and help out (following the SER Plan)!
There are Areas / Neighborhoods presently stranded
without non-ham inter-area communications due to lack of
Ham operators. View some of the fire burning at present.
The Salt fire - 12,650 acres; Lava Fire - 26,162
acres; Tennant Fire - 10,580 acres; Beckwourth Complex -
86,076 acres. Imagine the impact of such fires if
they hit Shingletown - most, if not all, of Shingletown
would be gone!
July
2021 comment: If there are emergency communications in
process on a Ham frequency, please use common
sense, and do not interfere and obstruct by talking
about FCC rules (e.g., requirement of Station ID, Non
Hams using Frequency, etc...). The Actual
FCC rules have been addressed by the SER Plan. A
Ham operator recently interfered with an actual
emergency communication and proceeded to talk over a 911
relay request, while the Ham injected his erroneous and
false statement of the FCC "rule".
The Ham apparently didn't even know what the actual rule
was. The actual FCC rules were in fact being
complied with. The blocking of a 911 relay request
during an emergency situation is not responsible.
We can all work together in these matters.
