A very nice list. I'd like credit to go to Calif4nian at SocalfireScan where most of it originated.

brandon · #7 (**permalink**) 10-25-2007, 07:06 PM

Here are freqs I logged today from the San Diego area. Only searched for about 20 mins so some are probably missing still.

169.5375 Fire operations repeater. Called "Command"
170.3875 Air Tac, mentioned Hwy 76 and Witch Fire
172.475 "south of us on the Witch Fire"
168.700 Fire traffic
163.5625 US National Guard, Echo callsigns
170.0125 Fire comms repeater, talking about Potrero, Harris Fire
170.450 talk about tankers and retardent
170.9125 P25 encryption
170.0625 Border Patrol running license plate number
170.725 P25 encryption
167.475 P25 encryption
171.425 Air Tac, sounded like they said "El Monte"
172.8125 fire traffic "helco" callsign
168.350 fire traffic (weak)
414.650 fire related traffic. called "Command" by units
415.450 fire related traffic
415.500 OM talking to unheard party
168.625 Air tankers ? Freq listed as Air Guard

P25 ENC is probably Border Patrol but the freqs didn't ring a bell so I wrote them down. I know the president was in town too.

Mick · #8 (**permalink**) 10-26-2007, 01:45 PM

I just checked all L.A. and S.D. news channels and papers and nothing like this is being reported.

One site did have a tribute to 5 Riv. Co. firefighters killed during 2006.
http://cbs2.com/topstories/local_story_299153804.html

Any further on what you heard?

OES HIGHLY discourages this, but everybody learned after Katrina that they were great for close in comms and are pretty much disposable.

Also check the MURS channels.

Some departments are said to program them into their HT's.

karldotcom · #20 (**permalink**) 10-27-2007, 01:09 AM

Check out this video of a Colorado C130 dropping retardant on San Diego...I think I saw the CalFire spotter fly out the back to, because I dont see him in the cockpit!
