[TCARC-NTX] Wilderness Protocol excerpt

[David Johnson KB5YLG]

This is intended for ARES activations, but might be
good to have these plugged into memory for anytime
use...


The frequencies for the Wilderness Protocol are 52.525
MHz, 146.520 MHz,223.500 MHz, 446.000 MHz and,
1294.500 MHz.

The proposed schedule for monitoring the frequencies
is every three hours on the hour starting at 7 AM
local time until 7 PM local time.

For those radio amateurs with more time or a scanner,
monitoring more often is encouraged. The basic
schedule gives someone who is out of cellular service
range and not able to contact a repeater a specific
time when someone should be listening to get word to
the proper authorities in the event of an emergency
situation.

The base monitoring time is 5 minutes. I also found
suggestions to start monitoring 5 minutes before the
hour every other time so that minor differences on the
clock of monitoring hams and hams in the woods would
not cause them to miss each other.
