Posted: Tue Oct 02, 2012 7:58 pm
On Tuesday, October 9th Riverside County will host a Radio Rodeo. Here is a quote from the CalSIEC Southern Planning Area meeting minutes:
This should be an opportunity to hear some interesting and unusual radio traffic. I wonder if PSEC will be in play.Robert Stoffel – Riverside County Sheriff’s Department put together a proposed plan, with thoughts of how we might make this a SPA event. The date for this event is confirmed for Tues, Oct. 9th. We will need to know soon, which operational areas want to participate and if agencies will stay local to their area or drive to the Riverside location. Sam Hamood (AT&T) – AT&T has a cell phone tower in a box. They would like to coordinate with an agency to test how that would work. Both Orange County and Riverside County are interested in use of this device...
Alex Harris - Riverside County Sheriff’s Department is deploying to several locations and will establish gateway links. The number of locations will depend on how many other counties will be participating and how many agencies will be coming to Riverside. Riverside County Sheriff’s Department is looking for agency commitment and agency frequencies available so that they can put a communications plan together.
