Kings Mountain Radio Club Keeps Us Connected in Emergencies

Our Radio Club N6ZX The Kings Mountain Amateur Radio Club was conceived by Frank Adams and Jan Sluchak, who were able to obtain space for two repeaters at the Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Brigade's building. Later a larger space became available after a local cable TV company removed its equipment, and Frank Adams and Bill Goebner obtained permission to build a room in this space to house the club's equipment. Several VHF and UHF repeaters, packet stations, monitoring equipment, a computer for packet and radio programming, supplies and tools are stored here. A 90 amp, 12 volt power supply powers the equipment normally with 4 large deep cycle batteries providing backup power during power outages. For long periods with no AC power, the building’s backup generator can be used.

Our club works closely with the Kings Mountain Fire Department and the Kings Mountain Emergency Preparedness. We strongly encourage members of our community to obtain their amateur radio licenses to aid our residents in case of emergency or disaster due to our semi-isolated location. An amateur radio license is easy to obtain and requires no knowledge of morse code. We can help you earn your license.

If you are interested in joining our club, please send an email message to:

N6ZX@comcast.net

Objectives

Stimulate and sustain interest in communications using amateur radio. Maintain an amateur radio station for the purpose of emergency communications,

public service and the general interest of all club members. Offer technical training through affiliation with other amateur radio clubs. Promote cooperation between members and promote radio knowledge,

fraternalism and individual operating skills. Conduct club programs and activities to advance the general interest and welfare

of amateur radio.

KMEP Emergency Communications Truck

The Kings Mountain Emergency Preparedness (KMEP) communications truck is owned by the Kings Mountain Fire Brigade and maintained by KMEP and the Kings Mountain Amateur Radio Club. All radios and antennas are owned by the radio club or club members. It is equipped with a 6 KW generator and deep cycle batteries and charger. It can provide scene lighting with its built in 1500 watt halogen flood lights. It also has a 1000 watt portable generator which can be remotely located to keep the radio supply batteries charged while keeping audible noise to a minimum. If necessary the truck can be configured to transport patients during a disaster.

Voice Repeaters

Band Frequency(mHz) Offset PL Tone

6M 53.640 -0.500 107.2

2M 145.370 -0.600 107.2

440 440.450 +5.000 107.2

The voice repeaters are useful for communications linking handheld and mobile transceivers from San Francisco to San Jose.

Packet Stations

A normal digital Packet station is on 145.05 mHz with K-Net node WBAY, KA node WOODY, PBBS - N6ZX-1. Packet is useful for written communications and can be used as a radio type of email.

Another Packet station using the JNOS protocol is on 145.09 mHz with internet access and forwarding and uses OSI as its node.

A third Packet station and digipeater for Automatic Position Reporting System (APRS) can be used to forward their GPS position to other stations and the internet. APRS can be very useful in search and rescue. -- Frank Adams.

Bill Goebner and Frank Adams check out the communications equipment in the Firehouse.

What To Do If You Encounter An Injured Animal

The Peninsula Humane Society (PHS) is available to help out in emergencies with both wild and domestic animals. They have an animal hotline you can call at 650-340-8200 (select option #5) to report that you have found either an injured animal that needs help or a dead animal that needs to be picked up. It is a 24 hour service; however, one problem is that there can be a long wait for help due to dispatch staffing issues. They will do their best to expedite your call if you tell them you have an injured animal that is suffering, but they strongly recommend that if at all possible you bring an injured animal directly to the PHS. They have someone on duty after hours as well as during the day -- therefore, you can drop off an injured animal at any time day or night. It is difficult to determine what to do while waiting for help as each situation is different. An animal in pain may bite or struggle. If it is safe to do so, try and keep the animal warm and as comfortable as possible. If transporting an injured animal do your best to move the animal without causing any further damage or pain. No one will fault you for trying to help -- time is very important and the sooner you can get the animal to the hospital the better. Once you get to the PHS they will help you bring the animal in to the facility. If an animal has died on a main road, try to move it to a safe place to be picked up. If the animal is on a busy road such as Skyline, please be cautious and careful. You do not want to become part of the problem by endangering yourself or others when moving an animal off the road. - Jan Ruby

Gordon Bromfield remembrances. This month they are back and this installment discusses Nathan Comstock. You can read more on this quirky character in Ken Fisher’s historical articles, many of which are posted on kingsmountainonline.com under “Mountain Blogs”. Especially relevant this time of year is Ken’s piece, “Have Yourself an ‘Uncle Nathan’ Christmas”.

P.S. If you’ve never seen the Lego display, we hear it is really something. Here’s wising a “Very ‘Uncle Nathan’ Holidays” to you all.
