Re: 90 minutes of Trump BS
the whole friggin world revolves around him
Alex Jones = form of psychosis
there is a direct link to his video disposition in this article
90 minutes of Trump BS
you really really need to listen to all of this - the guy is insane
I suspect that 99% of it is total BS
no collusion at front - thinly veiled threats - 'you are tough' - etc
song at end - 'you cant always get what you want' - ???????
new car factories are pouring into Michigan - really?
he jumps from China to Mexico wall - was he thinking of the Great Wall of China?
media bad - except when they didnt publish dossier - ????????
Wall Street is up 50% - great for 401Ks - really?
"drain the swamp" and 'guns for everybody' - big hits
"Crooked Hillary" but no mention of "lock her up" - how can a crowd be
so stupid?
Obama got big booos - probably the only black guy mentioned
trying very hard to seem progressive on health insurance - good luck with that
366,000 views via Fox News - I bet that only 2% watched the entire speech
10 times worse than Grandpa Simpson - but he only flubbed 1 or 2 words
- but his emphasis was way off at times; and he seemed to
mumble/ramble into oblivion at times
what is that thing glued to his head? - note the view from the rear
(at beginning of tape)
was EVERYONE in the crowd white except for that black actor with the
high five by the podium?

Trump is a mortal danger to the USA

Houston saga goes on
might close 10 units - maybe go from 4 platoons to 3 platoons
Houston TX - 2017 - city study
some very interesting info about staffing levels in Los Angeles and
NYC etc vs Houston
note - I think that Los Angeles has more high speed streets than other
citys - plus they have high speed expressways
note - EMS in Austin is provided by the County
note - San Antonio has lots of military people - the city has tiny
numbers of cops and FD - not quite sure why
note - FDNY and NYPD are bloated beyond belief - what exactly makes a
house fire or robbery in NYC so much harder to handle than in Los
Angeles or Austin? (maybe NYPD numbers are bloated because they
include transit, school, and housing cops)
Houston TX FD history - 52 pages - 2016

occupants of smaller cars are at a disadvantage if they collide with a
larger vehicle. But a 2007 study by the National Bureau of Economic
Research found that by reducing the average weight of all cars on the
road, CAFE standards "likely saved lives".

a 2017 EPA analysis projected that CAFE standards would save consumers
almost $100 billion

Metro North (482.25 R)
which might tell us that the 482.25 repeater is active and maybe all

because it will not be needed until a major incident or until a local
radio system goes down

Massachusetts SG license / MN SOA freqs
2 watt portables at 700 mhz and 800 mhz
--------------------------------------
typically - what I see across the USA is these 769 and 774 Mhz freqs
licensed as 2 watt mobiles
but you can also see freqs at 799 and 804 mhz on this license
not sure what this all means - perhaps some MO3 are involved - with
the 799 Mhz and 804 Mhz freqs intended to be input channels to MO3
that transmit on the 769 Mhz and 774 Mhz freqs
but there might be nothing stopping any state from using all of the
freqs as HT only freqs
these freqs do seemed to be used nationwide - but they are not listed
in the NIFOG - Radio Ref has them listed as itinerant - I suspect they
might have different names in different states - Minnesota calls them
SOA freqs (scene of action)
I wonder if anyone has put together a list of the different channel
names that have been applied to these freqs in the various states?
(maybe I should just look at my spreadsheet and see what jumps out)

5 Easy Steps to using a Police Scanner
1. buy a scanner
2. turn on scanner
3. look up the desired radio frequency at Radio Reference website
4. enter the desired frequency into scanner
5. listen to scanner
------------------------------
However
1. you might get some interference - you might want to add the PL or
DPL - if you scanner will allow that
2. you might be too far from the desired station - you might need to
move your scanner around, or get an outdoor antenna
3. you might need a trunktracker - a trunktracker is a scanner that
can monitor a "trunked radio system" (which are used in many parts of
the USA) - this is a whole new kettle of fish - you should be able to
go to Radio Reference and find the 'control channel' and the most
interesting 'talkgroups' for your local trunked radio system - program in the control channel and
talkgroups - start to listen

Knox County TN fire study Feb 2019
in the first paragraph click on "study" to reach the report and fire
tax overview
very interesting report - Rural Metro now provides 17 fire stations in
Knox County
they look at travel distances but that may not equate well to travel
times - it would depend on the speed limits on the roadways
iirc there is a city station and a rural metro station that are very
close to each other on the west side - if the Rural Metro station
closed they would maybe save $1M per year - which could probably buy a
new quint for EVERY station in the county - something to think about -
or the money could be used for pay raises
I would like to strongly suggest that they go to a countywide FD -
merge the Knoxville City FD and all the other FDs in the county. For
the volunteer stations that are outside of the county - maybe they can
join existing VFDs in the adjacent counties.

Rhode Island has 1 and only 1 PSAP

Rhode Island has approx 50 citys and towns - and nearly everyone

nearly every agency has their own talkgroup or radio channels - the
only shared channels presently are in the Westerly area iirc
So if you dial 911 - the statewide calltakers answer - and then send
the details to the local dispatch center somehow - or forward the
calls

thoughts on evil
always remember number 2 - there are many many many seriously mentally
ill people in the world - and apparently their number 1 goal is to
kill as many people as they possibly can without getting killed
themselves - its all a big sick game to them - these are the people
that scowl when they see a child or small animal - these people have
no sense of humor - they only smile when they see someone getting hurt
or killed
I try to remind myself regularly that - Hitler was the most powerful
man in the world in 1942 - he controlled most of Europe and Northern
Africa - in 1945, all that was left of Hitler was 1 piece of his jaw

burnt in a fire and the debris was scattered (per Wikipedia)

Marine 31 is big fireboat - Marine 32 is approx 25 foot fireboat -
looks like they have 4 people between the 2 boats since they have 4

also did BOLOs on the channel - like this - "citywide units standby

update on Deer Park TX
911 call at 1013 am
unit dispatched at 1048 am
I think what they are leaving out is - 1013 am 911 call to Deer Park
911 Center - 1013 am Deer Park 911 calls ITC - 1048 am ITC requests
backup from Deer Park FD
110 CA Natl Guard will clear brush
starting in April 110 members of the California National Guard will
start clearing brush around the state. They will be organized into 5
crews.
Cali will have NG at $50 per hour - USFS at $20 per hour - and inmates
at 10 cents per hour working at wildfires. Should be interesting.

funny how some tanks are skipped - ???
maybe there was no fuel in them and there was nothing to catch on fire
- and not enough heat to melt them - or maybe they got filled up with
water
Listening to Worcester FD on Open Mhz
dispatchers need help from chiefs and field units to send right units to calls
dispatch is done on the dispatch talkgroup (TG 4443)
units respond to minor calls on Ops C (TG 4439)
a master box and a elevator rescue were put on Ops B and Ops A
after the master box was downgraded, the 1 unit remaining at the scene
was told to use Ops C
units report that they are back in quarters on either Ops C or Admin -
maybe both at same time - ???
E8 seemed to have radio problems inside 559 Plantation Street which
was reported to be a 1 story Type 1 commercial building - Engine 8
said "we seem to be having radio problems in here" at 632 am - there
were some broken up messages on Ops A that popped up at Open Mhz
the master box got E8 E6 L1 R Cr3
the elevator rescue got E12 L1 R1 Cr4

a solar power raspberry pi computer with software enabling scanning

if each unit was in a high spot with 30 mile range there would only be
100 units needed to span coast to coast
possibly use license free channels at 900 mhz for linking
could you rubber band one of these units to a tree branch on top of a mountain?
Re: Wareham MA Middle School - 152.4125R
perfect example - Dow City Iowa - 154.16 and 154.19 - note that pagers
are only on 154.19 so that is probably their main channel
Wareham MA Middle School - 152.4125R
1 repeater pair plus 5 HT freqs
thats a more advanced radio system than half of the FDs in IL and MS
and NY and AL and TN and TX and CA and OR and MT have - dont believe
me? - show me any FD radio license with 5 HT freqs on it - and a
repeater - never happens - and there is only 3 FD HT freqs nationwide
in the usa - 153.83 46.20 and 33.42 - show me any FD radio plan with 5
dedicated discrete clear local HT freqs
this Houston FD info looks wrong
hearing on the scanner feed today - pager tone set - then - dispatcher
says - testing UHF backup radio for Sta XX YY ZZ etc - acknowledge on
base station - then the station is heard acknowledging verbally
("Station 80 received" - and maybe a fcc callsign was given)
so the RR info is maybe bad in 2 ways - real backup is on UHF not VHF
- and repeater(s) are used (not just bases) - (based on fact that
stations and dispatcher are being heard equally loud and clear on the
feed)
stations tested - 70s group at 1146 edt - sta 41 ish at 1141 am edt -
stations 83 84 86 at 1148 - sta 76 and 80 at 1150 - both heard

I guess you would program a HT to receive and transmit on maybe 146.52

onto the Internet - and alternatively - the zumspot would receive
transmissions from the Internet and transmit them on 146.52
