90 minutes of Trump BS

https://youtu.be/Y9EgZYGL_Ec - Trump rally in Michigan

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

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?

https://www.houstontx.gov/council/committees/bfacommittee/20170517/long-range-financial.pdf

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)

Making cars more efficient

occupants of smaller cars are at a disadvantage if they collide with a

road, CAFE standards "likely saved lives".

thats a areal good sign - it probably was the Burlington FD dispatcher

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

Massachusetts SG license / MN SOA freqs

https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/licenseFreqSum.jsp?licKey=2838874&pageNumToReturn=1

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

5 easy steps to using a scanner - 2019

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

Happy Scanning Trails To You!

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.

5 easy steps to using a scanner - 2019

5 easy steps to using a scanner - 2019

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' - program in the control channel and
talkgroups - start to listen

Rhode Island has 1 and only 1 PSAP

Rhode Island has 3 counties

Rhode Island has approx 50 citys and towns - and nearly everyone
operates their own police or fire/ems or ems dispatch center - and
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 1 - would vs wouldn't

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
bone - apparently wild dogs had eaten the rest, or the corpse was
burnt in a fire and the debris was scattered (per Wikipedia)

1 - details

the hundreds are the portables

Eng 5 and Eng 6 are apparently at Sta 2

the units without portable radios are apparently reserve or cross manned

C5 is the shift commander in his SUV

my guess at staffing is -

C5 - 1 chief

Eng 2 - 1 officer and 2 FF

Truck 1 - 1 officer and 2 FF

Rescue 1 - 2 people

E3 E4 E5 E6 - large ARFF units with 2 people each

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
portable radios - but maybe they really only have 2 people who usually
stay at the boat station

some radios gave a cool echo - instead of feedback

"details" are the off duty firefighters working OT to supervise
welding projects around the airport - maybe confined space projects

also did BOLOs on the channel - like this - "citywide units standby
for a simulcast" - then high lone tone - "copy the lookout" - and info
given about some wanted perp - then at the end - "standby while I

Deer Park Texas update

more tanks are burning now

gotta say its pretty weird - after 20 years I get around to updating
my CIMA info and they have a major fire - I still have lots of updates
for that CIMA info - have to get more FCC info and check HTL and
firedept.net etc and google - radio reference does not have any

there are 30 major industrial FDs in the area - each with 2 foam

Re: Wareham MA Middle School - 152.4125R

https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=4133857



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

https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=4133511

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

https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?ctid=2623

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
replying - 1104 am was sta 92 93 99 - these might be geographical
groupings or numerical groupings

apparently - it is a simplex receiver and transmitter that can be

its like a 'remote receiver site' I guess

I guess you would program a HT to receive and transmit on maybe 146.52
- and then the zumspot would receive the HT transmissions and relay it
onto the Internet - and alternatively - the zumspot would receive
transmissions from the Internet and transmit them on 146.52

in a nutshell - the zumspot apparently allows a person to talk via HT
in the bathroom to the Internet
