a wisconsin radio test - via eDispatches

3/15/2023 - 1836 hours - labelled as - USForestService - Ashland WI

'Ashland WI' signifies 'Ashland County WI'

the radio traffic heard was - "Wednesday weekly pager test for Ashland County"

I assume that this was the county dispatcher activating a pager for
the USFS wildfire management staff or duty officer - this might be the
method that the Ashland County 911 center relays any wildfire calls to
the USFS

if I had to guess I would guess that there is a National Forest that
protects certain areas in Ashland County WI

unknown what radio channel was used - but maybe we can figure it out -
lets look for broadcastify feeds in ashland county wisconsin - yup -
there is a public safety feed for ashland county and the archives does
have the same message that was heard via eDispatches - so that usfs
pager is probably on 154.995 which is listed as the county fire
channel
