Attention!  HARC meeting location change:

The HARC meeting for Tuesday 2 November will take place in the Eureka
Fire Department's training room on 6th Street in Eureka, between C and
D Streets, at 7 p.m.

The Blue Ox Community School became subject to a changed access
policy and we had to scramble to find a new room.1

Please pass it on to anyone you talk with before then.

73,
John

I see that the Humboldt County DA has a new FCC license for a VHF
repeater on 154.115 (WQKY262), with one repeater, one fixed base, and
*50* mobiles.  Must've increased their staff!   This will probably
help fill in when their HF 3.201 radio doesn't get through  :)

[MODERATOR's NOTE: This is "pushing the envelope" as far as being on-topic, but
the way you tied radio into it is too good to pass up! - Harry]


          I have a rental property in Lolita that is now ready for
rent.  It has a back yard, gently sloping, that measures 50' X 60'
and it just "cries out" for a ground plane.  It is unobstructed and
has a low horizon.

The Great California Shake Out earthquake drill starts at 10:15.  Radio
traffic having to do with earthquakes and tsunamis occurring thereabouts
is certainly a drill (except in the case of a bizarre coincidence
happening).  Hams might want to check in on their local simplex frequencies.

Two Wilson fires have gone to 120 acres. Used Crescent Fire and Fort Dick Water
tenders, they were released  Sat evening 8Pm to return to fires Sun morning.
There is also a tall tree fire of about 1 acre included in this complex.

Sat evening a 1+ acre fire was reported north of the Crescent City Airport and
Dead Lake, Crescent Fire Dist had to locate and access. They could see it
activility burning had units trying to access. Chief had dispatch find a airport
responsible with gate  keys also to alert anyone that fire units were on runway.
Also contacted State Parks need someone with gate keys to get into park area.
State Parks told dispatch they had no one to respond with keys. Chief told
dispatch tell them it's their property thats burning! Another fire to sit on
overnight. Hit it again tomprrow.
I forsee a key /access meeting between the airport, state parks, and Crescent
Fire next week.

Not all planes land on the runway.

The airport is constructing a tall fence around the property to keep the deer
off the runways, and for homeland security

About 22:03, after many minutes of apparently behind-the-scenes
discusion with someone, EFD dispatched an engine to the crash "for an
extrication."   An EPD officer on scene, with obvious irritation in
his voice, just now asked whether they're sending an enine or not, "Do
we have an ETA on them?  We have people  holding a patient here, who
are getting tired.  Are they coming?"  Dispatcher replied that yes, an
engine is enroute.  But it's gonna be the engine from the other side
of town, since the engine at HQ (2 blocks from the scene) doesn't have
jaws on board.  He held his tongue but you could hear him anyway.

I don't know what the debate/delay was... maybe whether EFD or CAL
FIRE should handle the extrication?

A CAL FIRE engine just radioed in "emergency traffic" to Fortuna that
they've been involved in a traffic collision at 4th & A in Eureka, and
the FFs will be checking the other vehicle's occupants.

Further info after checking other vehicle is that there are no
injuries claimed, but engine is requesting an ambulance "Code 2" to
evaluate the occupants.  Ambulance, police and CAL FIRE BC enroute

Subsequent messages sound like it was a single-vehicle rollover, with
four minor to moderate injuries and two fatalities all in the same
vehicle.

CHP log has the location as US101 JNO FRENCH RD.  I'm not familiar
with that road crossing 101, but it was reported to be north of
Miranda
