I will try another day as we are now listening to radio traffic following a 5.9 earthquake in the north end of the county.
Oh but dontcha know...That was in "Nevada" despite USGS saying otherwise...

Yeah...Tricky locations for sure! Between that 5.9 and the 4.8 outside of Farmington today, Shake and Bake California has been active!I had the same reaction, "how about Walker, California" or 2-3 kilometers northwest of Walker. In their defense, as I used to work with the USGS closely, Smith Valley is very close to the California state line. It might have something to do with the closest seismograph. Down south in the land of ancient elephants we are in the second most geological instrumented place in the U.S., the Long Valley Caldera. The number one location is Parkfield, CA. At least that's what I was told in the 1990's when a little incident changed my career and I was working with the USGS nearly weekly from there until I retired. It sure stretched my 3 units of Geology taken at Long Beach State in 1970 all over the map. I adapted and learned. I loved working with the USGS, some very fine people.

Well, they generally go with the *initial reports* off the seismographs..In this case, Smith Valley, NV picked it up first but it was definitely more centered towards Markleeville based on who and where felt it in the rest of the state...Strength revised upward to a 6.0 and is now listed as SE of Markleeville, CA. The USGS heard you!
I didn't expect to listen for the CRIS in Mono County for a number of years, not a number of months. I'm glad I've been following this thread. Thanks to all who have been providing info. It might be my turn at some point here.
I was thinking the same thing. Did anyone hear anything earthquake related on CRIS? On that note, anyone hearing anything wildfire related?No time like the present during a natural event to listen to a new system being tested!
Just CHP North Sac requesting units to check the bridges in their area...Nothing wildfire-related yet.I was thinking the same thing. Did anyone hear anything earthquake related on CRIS? On that note, anyone hearing anything wildfire related?
CAN NOT confirm but Site 13 is still online...Site 18 appears to be down / offline. Can anyone confirm?

That just looks like RID570 was accepted on the system...You'd see TG1 and more next to it if it actually keyed up.I got a quick key up on TG 1 with radio ID 570 today

Several years ago, I advised the California Group that there will be a new radio system for state public safety in the future. I was laughed at because the document I showed them was over ten years old. I realized that it takes time to get anything done through the political system.
I am happy to report that a portion of the system is already installed within San Joaquin Valley from Sacramento to Bakersfield. They are testing the system before continuing. Go to the site for more information and updates:
