He reported on 55 (Q5 both ways).
CONCLUSION:
IN THE EVENT OF EMERGENCY, Radio Team to USE
ALL CHANNELS (IE., TX ON 9, 55, AND 57) (AS WE DO DURING
"REGULAR" NETS). ALSO, ALWAYS MAKE SURE A STATION
COPIES YOUR TX. OTHERWISE, YOU MAY THINK YOU ALERTED, BUT NO ONE
HEARD YOU.
ANY RADIO TEAM STATION CAN
ACTIVATE FOR AN EMERGENCY SITUATION (E.G., FIRE ADVISORY, FIRE
NET, TERRORIST ATTACK, ... ETC.) Yes,
that means all RADIO TEAM STATIONS.
FIRE SEASON IS AT THE
DOOR. RECOMMEND YOU CARRY RADIOS WITH YOU AND REPORT ON
FREQUENCY. IF YOU ARE MOBILE / AWAY FROM HOME, ONLY TX
FROM SAFE AREA TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENT.
RADIO TEAM MEMBER RESPONSE AND ACTIVE
PARTICIPATION KEEPS THIS GOING. THANK YOU.
IF YOU KNOW OF OTHERS WHO MAY BE
INTERESTED, PLEASE HAVE THEM CALL NATHAN 530-474-3267.
ALSO, HAVE A PLAN TO ADVISE YOUR
NEIGHBORS WHO DON'T HAVE RADIOS.
