reposting radio back up plan - Boston MA area

basic plan - if primary and backup channel fail - switch to DIRECT ops
and put someone at a high spot (or up in an aircraft) - this applies
nationwide / worldwide / galactically

(if you dont know what DIRECT is - yikes!)

============================

reposting radio backup plan for Boston Mass area

direct ops on BAP 3 - dispatcher to dispatcher primarily

direct ops on BAP 4 - for tactical - or backup if local Ch1 gets jammed up

direct ops on 483.2875 if possible - mostly dispatcher to dispatcher -
unknown if anyone has the capability

direct ops also on - 471.6875 and Utacs and ITacs and what the hell
Vtacs also For Boston - if they just put 1 person on a highrise with a
portable radio - they could probably have citywide coverage - maybe
Readville would be a problem

for subway ops - use the FDNY method - portable to portable every 100 feet

all of the MetroFire channels can be used for direct ops - even the
input channels (if the repeaters are down)

how about - putting some mobile command posts with repeaters on high
spots? like at the toll booths on the Tobin Bridge? - that would be
cool - or on Belmont Hill or Blue Hill or Bear Hill or Mt Kilmanjaro
