KPBS Radio 89.5 Maintains Constant Fire Coverage despite Transmission
Troubles
SNIP

Indeed KPBS did a great job, as well as FOX which was on nearly 24 hours
with excellent coverage.

Others were ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN

87.7 MHz FM was set up with fire news for mobiles and those with power
outages (25,000 at one time)

Amateur radio operators were on 2 Meters. 440 MHz, and HF in full force.
Callouts were made to ARES and RACES assissting the Red Cross, and County
Emergency Coms.

Hams activated fire information nets on several repeaters for mobiles and
those without commercial power. Some repeaters were on battery power or
generator power when the main power lines failed. Volunteers carried fuel to
the repeater sites when needed. Some repeaters were destroyed in the fire,
but many have been on continously

Communications were vastly improved over the 2003 fires.

The internet was an excellent source for fast breaking news, including road
closurers, traffic flows, evacuation center locations, evacuation orders,
videos, fire maps, fire status updates, water and air quality, and much MUCH
more.

Well done San Diego
Lamont in San Diego

87.7 mHz is merely the audio portion of TV channel 6 in Tijuana.
Nothing was ''set up''.

Rickets must you always be so fricking negative?

It's the drugs.
