My home. Miss it so much.

Really helpful video!!

Looking back after Helene to put our heads together on how to make the most of our radio services, I think this video comtributes greatly to that end. Thank you. I would like to expand on this if any of us would like a reason to buy a few more radios (or just tailor what we have) and expand our capabilities. I saw some great things some hams did after Helene that could easily be expanded to bridge the gap to non-ham people who have no interest in radio, but have radios lying around. All we hams and GMRSers have to do is scan all relevant frequencies during critical incidents and be able to communicate with people who only picked up a radio out of desperation, without regard to what service it is. It could be any of them, but most likely FRS/GMRS, MURS, Marine and CB. I went ahead and built out my shack to include this capability and am using it now to tune up the finer points, but please spread the idea around if you like. My formula for this concept: 1): At least one Retevis RT-95, unlocked to Mode 02 with first 30+ channels being the 30 GMRS freqs plus any extra repeaters in range (don't forget to enter the offsets on 467 MHz so you can receive someone calling into a dead repeater). Then add the five MURS freqs, Marine Channels 16, 68, 69, 71 & 72. Add the color dot and itinerant star freqs from business band radios. This radio will need a different antenna than your ham VHF/UHF set. I recommend the Comet FC5NMO, because it is specialized for the above range of freqs. 2): At least one scanner with the above frequencies, plus the CB channels, including AM freeband freqs. On separate banks, add The business/itinerant freqs, ham calling freqs and repeater freqs in your area (AND their offsets), your local fire, law, public works, and Airband freqs in your area. The scanner frequency range should be at least 25 MHz to 470 MHz, but 700 & 800 MHz is heavily used in many areas without encryption, so good to have that as well. 3): At least one CB radio or 10-12 meter band ham radio with scanning ability and a channelized tuner, unlockable to 11-meter band. You'll want the full 102-inch whip to pull in weak signals transmitted under less than ideal circumstances. Don't forget the freeband commonly used in your area. 4): At least one additional unlocked portable ham radio (and CB, if applicable), to maintain contact with the calling party as you approach to locate and assist them. Two portables, if you have someone coming with you to help. Now simply scan for emergency traffic during critical incidents and be prepared to quickly stop scanning and write down what you hear, including everything you will need to identify, recontact and locate the person needing assistance after you leave your radio base station (this concept assumes first responders are unavailable). Program the portable(s) before you leave to help. Try to have others stage the things you will need to take with you, such as medical supplies, safety equipment, tools, gas cans, etcetera. Confirm the address given actually exists, and be aware that calls for help could be a setup for a robbery or ambush. Take another person with you, and leave a copy of the plan with someone else who can monitor, preferably at your base station. Relay to any ham EMCOMM station, if up and running, in case someone is closer than you that can help.

I have a TH-cam channel, and posted videos from Roaring Camp, we like yours better. I wanted to comment you on a wonderful job. Perfect video in every way, great videography, very enjoyable, we loved it. keep up the good work.

Thanks Ned for this amazing video. Great job.

Been here for 34 years, moved up to long barn in the early 90’s as a little boy. I know almost every inch of this county now. ❤ Great video piece.

Weird! I had no idea anyone was doing all this filming. I guess I was hyper-focused at my social media station. :-)

Wow! How come this is thr first time I came by this? Great video. Thank you so much for putting this together.

XCOTHIiLl Aarfo 🎉🎉😊😊 Arctic marine life is 🎉🎉😊😊

I was looking into moving into the country side, my pick is sonora, plymouth, etc, different vibes!

Sonora is a clean and patriotic town .... and that's the way we like it ... this is Trump Country.

I live here! I live in one of the historical buildings you drove past in downtown. 😊

These engines are build with shaft and gear drives so that all of the engine's wheel are driven for maximum traction and plenty of climbing power. I only wish they could replace that burned trestle.

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

I’m so going to do this on my American holiday

I live only 15 minutes from Downtown Sonora. I've lived here my whole life 1990, age 5

4:21 - 4:33 Masionc Lodge Tuolumne #8

Im only 20 minutes from Downtown Sonora lived here since 1990

My husband was in the video lol we in the firemen in the cab 😂

Did you have the drone above the car a few feet while driving ?

Nice walkthrough at the time of the boardwalk I use to come here with my friends I grew up in california yet glad moved out of California in 2021 yet good memories with my friends at the boardwalk thou.

Thank you so much for the tour. Do you have a favorite spot# there ?

Had a 54 Chevy pu my buddy and I were seniors in high school1967. Would go up there and explore, would get a ice cream on a stick at the store, sleep out on the ground down by the creek or small river. Fun times

That was the best stagecoach ride in Columbia, now they are there

As a former member of the Golden Regiment - a flutist - trained under Pat Seiben (He had us playing Johan de Meij 5th symphony of The Hobbit!) in the late 90's (Class of 2000) and still carrying the dread of "If the Packers lose, we have to march the next day no matter how bad the weather is"... YAAAAAAAAAAASSS!!!!!!! YOU GUYS MADE IT TO DISNEYLAND!!! YOU KILLED IT! AND YOU SOUND AMAZING!! You're making me proud. :) Sonora High has a history of great musicians - an epic band, and award-winning choirs. Please tell me you guys still play Alright Now, Tusk, The Wall, and Carry On My Wayward Son. And please tell me you still end every game outside the band room playing the 7 Fold Amen, holding the final note while a single trumpeter plays Taps. Forever a Wildcat.

This was a very unfortunate event. Thank you for this well put together presentation on what happened and lessons learned and what other communities are hopefully learning from this.

In New Mexico; really missing my home on the Central Coast. Thank you!

Another awesome video keep it up in there once before absolutely loved it

I love Morro Bay! It is my go to vacation with my family. Thank you so much for the aerial view.

good day-useful drone-bye,📢

I lived on I-Bar Rd back in the day. Lots of time spent in the St.Charles Saloon. Painted the big sign in the Wells Fargo office. Great memories'

very very helpful! Thanks Ned!

Is there a dump station nearby?

There's nothing like nothing

Thanks for this. Do you know how late into the season these stores are open?

Very well done on this video. 73's from KA9PHI

Shout out from Sonora Mexico

I want to be there

super boring trip

Are dogs allowed on the beach?

This is a great, simple overview perfect for someone like myself who's new to amateur radio. Thank you so much for taking time to post this! Your coverage area is right in my backyard and I often find myself 4-wheeling in your coverage area. Time to get some repeaters programmed into my radios! Eric K7RKU

I can watch this all day! Thank you sweet video!

Better than Disneyland. Awesome ❤

You had to visit I’ve been there and it’s a good place only 4 miles away if you’re in Fresno

Outstanding examination of the issue using a potent case.

Nice video! Whats the speed limit over there

I made friends with a guy here at railtown that guy would let me drive the movie star herself heh, he’s a good guy.

Is there any cliff diving/rock jumping here? Anyone know?

Thats a fun train ride

How long is the ride?
