Hi Guys, I'm new so please bare with me as I learn. In the meantime I have a question that I am sure many out there can assist and would ask please for a brief comment on the subject.
I am a volunteer firefighter and also a certified storm spotter.
I have a Kenwood radio in my vehicle which is same model all fire trucks for our dept use. It is a small rural department.
I monitor the local skywarn ham radio amateur band when severe storms are in the area.
IN THE EVENT that while storm spotting I were to witness event that warrants communications regarding a severe storm ie: large hail, property damage as a direct result of storm in progress, an actual tornado on the ground, etc......IS IT permissable to pick up the mic, key in and report this using my Fire dept FD #? Example: Chaley fire dept unit 44.
I DO REALIZE THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE A HABIT.
Please excuse the question if it seems amateurish. I'm only trying to understand as an exception in the event things get rough and communication is needed .
I just want to
