I've got the Mammoth Mtn. Ski Area radio system up and running thanks to the folks that helped me on a recent thread. The next step in understanding this system is identifying the function of each talkgroup. It would appear I've IDed about half of them or more. They are listed in the database for this radio system. A lot of people, especially those from southern California, ski here and listen to its radio system.
I would appreciate it if we leave the database submissions to me. I listened to the old system quite a bit and I understand the procedures of this ski area very well. Once someone thinks they have identified a talkgroup, post that here, along with the reasons for that ID. I will listen to see if it makes sense and make the DB submission.
Here is a list of those talkgroups I've monitored, with notes of what I might have heard, but have been unable to pin down the function of them:
1002
1004
1005
1011
1012
1013
1014 Alpine Ski Teams? "Mighty Mite coaches meet in the locker room"
1018 "This is 545 (Operations Base) Chair 17 down for 5 minutes" No traffic since.
1021 Ski Patrol Alternate? Heard a lot of people in the Mammoth Mtn. Inn being called and told to go to a meeting room.
1025 Summer golf course use, is there a different winter use?
1026
1029 Prior to snow being on the ground heard "secure your work carts" and "Chair 8 is secure." Could be lift maintenance, but they have two talkgroups already, 1015 and 1016.
1030
1031 Sports School, likely Main Lodge due to the amount of traffic. However, I haven't heard them refer to a location yet.
1032 Nothing heard yet, but likely the Sports School at Eagle Lodge. School not open yet and thus no traffic.
1033 Sports School. Less traffic. I think this is the Canyon Lodge school, but a location not given, such as Chair 8 or Chair 16, etc.
1037
1039 Sounded like Sports School type traffic, all first names being used, without callsigns. This is the procedure for Sports School, but they already have 3 talkgroups with a low amount of traffic.
4006 Tamarack Lodge talkgroups start with a "4," but do they really have 6 talkgroups?
5004 Mammoth Mtn. Inn talkgroups start with a "5," but do they really have 4 talkgroups?
6010 Juniper Lodge talkgroups start with a "6," but do they rally have 10 talkgroups?
Next I will lists department callsigns to aid in identifying talkgroups. That will be the next post.
