Ipswich MA - 453.8875 heard today
heard today - 453.8875 - this is a remote receiver link for Ipswich FD
- just field units are heard - it feeds 159.39R - 99% of the time,
just a high tone is heard on 453.8875 - but when field units are
talking, you will hear them on 453.8875 and 159.39R at the same time
perhaps I should explain a little more
Ipswich FD runs a repeater on 159.39R with an input on 151.19
This means that mobiles transmit on 151.19 and receive on 159.39
apparently there is a receiver site in Ipswich somewhere that is
receiving on 151.19 and transmitting on 453.8875 - which implies that
there is a receiver site at the voter site that is receiving on
453.8875
bottom line - they are using 453.8875 to link their remote receiver
site to their voter - instead of paying for a phone line or a
microwave link
does that help? probably not - lol

Linden VT Rescue went to MI call in Wheelock
per new sheffield wheelock feed - 154.25
Linden VT Rescue gets paged on 154.25 - they also operate simplex on 154.25 - seems to be the primary channel
dispatcher is always loud and clear on this feed - mobiles are in and out - when Linden Rescue (?95) signed on to the call he was loud and clear into the feed - at the scene he was unreadable
Linden Rescue signed on immediately - they must have had a duty crew in the station - dispatcher said that 1 person was available - should I page a crew? - yes - two tone pager signal again - 2 people needed to cover
Wheelock FD did not go to the scene apparently
the RP said the victim had a PMH of heart and 3 nitros were already onboard
this is upstate Vermont near Canada - Saint Johnsbury runs a regional dispatch center

if on arrival, the wind is blowing flames into the building, then the
best attack is from the outside
if on arrival the flames are venting strongly out the window, then
maybe an interior attack is called for

In addition to a high level of professionalism, Wyoming Fire-EMS also
prides itself on a diverse department that is truly reflective of the
community. The volunteers at Wyoming Fire-EMS are of all ages,
races/ethnicities, sexes, religions and socioeconomic backgrounds that
work together during times of emergencies toward the common goal of
serving and protecting their community. Because of this unique culture
of diversity, Wyoming Fire-EMS is thought to be the true definition of

to recap Polk County FL - first due engine got lost somewhat - first
due engine asked dispatcher to contact homeowner (very weird / unusual
in my book) - probably no one could quite believe that the dispatcher
had the caller on the phone for 15 minutes in a burning building
(again - that is very weird / unusual in my book)
also - iirc - the battalion chief was trying to give the captain the
hint that he should be going for an interior attack - iirc the first
engine had 4 people on board - they could have stretched 4 attack
lines

it might look like a big joke - but theres nothing quite like doing a
real world drill
looks like 2 tankers trucks at the end - and we see 1 fire officer
with a HT - and the final photo shows the red city fire truck
so apparently it was the hotel fire brigade plus the city FD that
worked together in the drill - maybe a ambulance was there also

Costa Mesa CA - sirens in middle of night !!!!!!!!!
per city website
When responding to a call in the "middle of the night" do the
firefighters have to use the sirens even though traffic is minimal?
Yes, the state vehicle code requires that while responding Code Three,
an emergency response vehicle must have all emergency lights on and
the siren sounding. A Code Three response is initiated when life,
property or the environment is in immediate danger. Some examples are
chest pain, difficulty breathing, fire, hazardous materials spill, and
auto accidents.)

There are no details on the trust's beneficiaries. The court papers
note that Epstein's only potential heir was his brother, Mark Epstein.
But the will adds that Mark only had a claim to his brother's
extensive holdings if Jeffrey hadn't left behind the document.

2017 - how north korea got nukes so fast
https://aviationweek.com/missile-defense/how-north-korea-developed-missiles-so-quickly
from aug 2017
--------------------------------------
comment to article
Though there were some very short-sighted -- but in-the-moment
rational -- policies when we ended (cease-fired) the Korean War, the
relocation of Seoul's population -- away from their lethal trip-wire
position right next to the DMZ -- has been long, LONG overdue.
The stubborn, short-sighted stupidity of keeping South Korea's capital
and largest city (Seoul) within a hand-grenade's throw of the North
Koreans, for over half a century, has constantly crippled our ability
to provide a fully credible defense of South Korea... especially
against a mentally unstable North Korean dictator.
But then, we're still rebuilding one of our own major cities (New
Orleans) -- again below the sea-level of the surrounding ocean --
after decades of experts warning it was living on borrowed time behind
thin dikes and levees, and then after a moderate hurricane largely
destroyed the city, and while a recent rainstorm flooded it, again.
Stubbord, short-sighted stupidty is just a human trait.

sure sounds like they are getting at least 1 wide area repeater channel
$860,000 project
would be cool if they got 4 wide area repeater channels
after a week of extreme fire weather / red flags - I bet that 4 wide
area repeater channels could come in very handy
I should punch 159.90 into my radio and see if I hear anything new
What if they did this? - lets say they have 10 radio sites that can be
grouped on the fly - a working wildfire starts in the north area -
link the 2 closest (northern) sites and make 160.11 the FG channel
with the 2 sites - then a working wildfire starts in the south - link
the 2 closest (southern) sites and and again use 160.11 as the FG
channel if possible (with different PL maybe) - now we are working 2
fires with only 1 channel - and we still have 6 sites in reserve - and
maybe 2 or 3 more channels
Bottom line - with 4 wide area channels - 1 could be paging and
dispatch - the other 3 could be used to handle up to 6 working
incidents
For a typical structure fire - onscene ops just needs 1 simplex channel
But for an incident that covers a large area - the repeater channels
sure would be nice

this article does not seem to say alot
but we know that when someone punched 2 holes in 2 tankers over by
Iran - and a major us warship was only 40 miles away - the us navy
didnt do much - and trump aborted the retaliation strike in some weird
messed up deal - since then, things have been quiet - but the
russians seem to be imploding - sub fire - nuke missile explosion - 1
or 2 ammo dump blasts

epstein vol guard article
The New York Times reported that late, accused sex trafficker Jeffrey
Epstein spent his final days trying to use his wealth to manipulate
his circumstances inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center, leading
up to his death by suicide.
Epstein avoided spending time in his cell by paying lawyers to visit
him in a private meeting room for up to 12 hours a day, emptying
vending machines at the facility during periods of legal counsel.
The financier and convicted sex offender also deposited money in other
inmates' commissaries to avoid their attention and seemingly devised a
way to hang himself without drawing attention in the understaffed
facility.

The mysterious circumstances surrounding the death by suicide of
accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein while in federal custody have
infuriated the Attorney General, incited the president to spread a
baseless conspiracy theory, and intrigued the public.
The New York Times investigated what really happened to Jeffrey
Epstein behind bars at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower
Manhattan, where the convicted sex offender continued to use his
wealth to advantage himself, even while held without bail on charges
of sex trafficking minors and conspiracy.
Epstein's cell was cramped, musty, and likely infested with vermin,
based on interviews with lawyers and other MCC inmates, and the
financier may have encountered standing water, with overflowing urine
and feces from the facility's faulty plumbing.
To avoid spending time in his cell, Epstein paid for lawyers,
including but not limited to his own established legal team, to spend
up to 12 hours a day consulting with him in a private meeting room.
During their visits, Epstein and his lawyers repeatedly emptiednearby
vending machines.

federal jail where he died by suicide and say they are launching their
own investigation
Epstein also deposited money in other inmates' commissary funds to
avoid negative attention, a consultant who regularly speaks with MCC
inmates told The New York Times. Despite the measures he took to
improve his own conditions, Epstein still seemed miserable, bathing
infrequently, leaving his hair and beard unkempt, and sometimes
sleeping on the floor instead of in his bunk.
Concerning his first apparent suicide attempt, five days after US
District Judge Richard Berman denied him bail, The New York Times
reported that Epstein was placed on suicide watch for six days. The
short watch period is not irregular at MCC, which joins the ranks of
other federal prisons that have faced dire understaffing crises under
the Trump administration's policy to reduce the size of the federal
government.
In fact, three days after being removed from suicide watch, Epstein
met with attorney David Schoen, who told The New York Times that the
financier appeared upbeat, and invited Schoen to join his legal team.
In the days that followed, lawyers and prison staff say Epstein began
looking haggard and sleeping on the floor again.
The day before Epstein's death, a trove of documents concerning his
sex trafficking operation was released to the public, and he and his
lawyers crowded into the private meeting room for hours. That night,
mismanagement and lack of correctional officers meant that only 18
guards watched over 750 inmates, and 10 of them were working overtime,
while one post remained vacant.

sex trafficking case, in this court sketch in New York Reuters
Of the two guards meant to monitor Epstein every 30 minutes, one was a
former correctional officer and was volunteering. The twofailed to
check in on him for a 3-hour period, during which two Bureau of
Prisons officials say they fell asleep and later falsified records.
During that time, Epstein successfully hanged himself with a bed
sheet, and while prison staff attempted to revive him early that
morning, he was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital an hour after
being discovered. His cell in the 9 South block had a small window,
from which Epstein may have been able to spot his two guards sleeping
at the nearby guard desk.
Epstein's lawyers have released a statement announcing another
investigation into his suicide, joining three investigations being
performed by the Southern District of New York, where Epstein was
charged, the Office of the Inspector General, under Attorney
GeneralWilliam Barr, and the FBI.
The coroner's report concerning Epstein's death shows he was ableto
fracture his hyoid, a small U-shaped neck bone, while hanging himself.
Despite the prevailing conspiracy theory that Epstein was murdered,
FBI agents discounted the narrative, medical experts saidthe fracture
was self-inflicted, and former federal prosecutors saidany motive for
murdering the financier would be misguided.
Rather, The New York Times suggested that Epstein had reached the end
of the benefits his enormous wealth could grant him and saw no way out
from the conditions inside MCC, which lacked the workforce to ensure
his safety, not unlike federal prisons across the country.

not too much has changed since 2018
test was at 1012 am - maybe late - maybe 10 am is the real anointed time still
some stations were scratchy - Boston was never scratchy - Randolph was
scratchy for just half of their message - odd
Boston did the rollcall - not everyone answered - some stations that
failed to answer were retested - some were not - no followup from 1012
to 1112am
Chelsea apparently answered on 482.05R instead of 483.2875R - maybe
they forgot to switch back after the UASI test - maybe Chelsea
actually simulcasted on both channels
changes I noticed on mutual aid availability - Woburn now has ladder
available - Weston got no ladder now - Needham maybe on ladder -
Medford got no ladder - MassPort Hanscom now has 1 engine
