Regional Emergency Amateur Radio Band Plan
A storm, earthquake, or other hazard, could impact normal communications in the
Cannon Beach Fire Protection District. Depending on the severity of the damage, and the
preferences of the fire chief and chief of police, ham radio operators may have
- voice capacity on VHF repeaters and/or simplex
- VHF digital capacity via packet (Winlink/RMS Express)
- HF voice, pactor, and/or Winmor
For voice transmission, if the repeaters are not damaged, there could be three levels of
communication - local, county-wide, and between the county and Salem. Simplex communications are possible
throughout the Fire Protection District.
