los angeles city fallback radio plan X 10

if los angeles city lost all of their repeaters

could they send 1 person with a HT to the Hollywood sign and have
radio coverage for half of the city?

does la have direct buttons on their radios?

do they have any direct channels that are pre-designated as dispatch channels?

the plan could be very simple - all pd units switch to 453.2125 direct
for dispatch - all fire and ems units switch to 453.4625 direct for
dispatch - put 1 person at the 911 telephone office with a HT - put 1
person at the Hollywood sign with a HT - problem solved

pretty sure you can drive vehicles up to the hollyood sign - action
kid showed us that on YT about 3 years ago

there is probably a fire station on mulholland drive that has great
radio coverage also

pretty sure that cars can drive up to castro peak and oat mtn also -
maybe people can walk up to top of san pedro hill by Port of LA

pretty sure that LAFD disaster radio plan has the BCs running nets on
the tac channels - not sure if they use simplex or not - not sure if
they drive to high spots

have not heard anyone in the boston area run radio tests like this in 50 years
