Yesterday we had a wildfire break out 1 mile from the radio ranch here in Btown. USFS/NCFS and local county fire units converged in our area to fight the fire. Took some great pictures of the aerial assault of the fire by air tac/recon/tankers aircraft from Chattanooga Air Tanker Base. Helos used 122.925 and fixed wing used 120.025 and comms with CHA Air Tanker base was on 128.425.
Most of the activity here in the west has been on VHF Aero/VHF Hi and UHF links.
Still have lots of smoke this a.m. even though we had some light rain overnight. More as we put it together.
