------------------ This is what I learned from Yarnell 1. Don't depend on aircraft to find you in smoke - even if they have GPS and your exact cords 2. Even if the aircraft can find you - the water drop might kill you rather than save you 3. Don't depend on " Air Guard " as an emergency radio channel - apparently it don't work - especially if the pilots are trying to monitor 2 or 3 other radio channels already 4. If you fart around with a fire, it will kill you and burn up your town. The fire doesn't care if you are competent or not. The fire does as fire does - (to paraphrase a great American.) --------------------------------- Note - Air Guard (168.625) is a simplex channel - line of sight comms only - if your signal is blocked by a hill or mountain - then its blocked - end of story -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
