Emergency Communications

Many amateur radio operators have the equipment and skills to support the community in case of an emergency and may be able to make an essential contribution to public safety.

The hazards we face here on the Sunshine Coast are apparent to all and club members are strongly encouraged to have a source of back-up radio power and emergency supplies for a period of 72 hours, or better still: two weeks.

We recommend you maintain a paper copy of the SCEC page and of all BCARCC repeater frequencies within range if not already programmed in your radio.

You should also know how to manually input a frequency, offset, and tone in the VFO of your radio in case you need to access a repeater not already programmed.

The Sunshine Coast Regional District Emergency Operations Centre is located in the SCRD HQ building at 1975 Field Road Sechelt.

Its dedicated Emergency Communications Radio station, VE7SCE, is equipped with:

Amateur VHF/UHF/HF Voice and Packet/Pactor data communications using the Winlink system.
MSAT satellite telephone fixed and mobile units.
A mobile satellite internet dish providing Wi-Fi to the EOC.
Inter-Municipal Emergency Radio system (IMERC-2C).
Vancouver Health Emergency Network.
Aero/Marine band radios.
The SCRD Trunk Network radio on various channels covering the coast from a repeater on Mount Benson on Vancouver Island.
The Sunshine Coast Fire Departments have an Emergency Fire Dispatch radio/paging system enabling control of all Fire Stations from the EOC.
An Emergency generator will provide electrical power to the EOC. Portable generators are also available.

The Emergency Communications Team (ECT) meet weekly on Wednesdays between 09:00 ‒ 12:00 LT.

The Emergency Communications Team (ECT) does a weekly (Wednesday) net at 09:30 from VE7SCE on VE7RXZ 147.220 MHz. Check-ins are welcome.

BC PERCS - Public Safety Lifeline Volunteers

Source: BC Emergency Radio Communications

During disasters and other serious emergency situations, a proven reliable means of communication has been emergency radio communications, notably “amateur” or “ham” radio

Through the Provincial Emergency Radio Communications Service (PERCS), Emergency Management BC is linked with the hundreds of volunteer amateur radio operators who are available to assist with communications in the event of an emergency.

These licensed volunteer amateur radio operators are affiliated with their local government’s emergency management programs and most supply their own equipment. They train regularly and often take part in emergency exercises so they are prepared for any crisis situation that arises.

Members of the SCRD ECT are required to be members of the EMBC Public Safety Lifeline Volunteers.

Emergency Communications for Non-Hams

Amateur radio can provide long range communication (voice or digital) in case of an emergency. But for local communication, there are options that do not require a radio license or certificate.

License-Exempt Devices

The radiofrequency spectrum is a scarce resource. In Canada, ISED regulates its use to prevent interference between different users. With respect to interference, there are two types of users:

Primary users are given priority of a frequency and are protected from interference.
Secondary users cannot interfere with primary users, and are not protected from interference.

For voice communications in Canada, CB radios and FRS radios are the two main license-exempt options. However, from ISED FAQ #6:

It is illegal for consumers to import radio devices into Canada that do not bear a label with an Industry Canada certification/registration number.

License-exempt radios are secondary users.

Baofeng radios and the likes are illegal to use without the appropriate certificate.

Check if a certification/registration number is valid.

FRS

For voice, using an FRS radio is the most practical option.

Channels

There are 22 channels in the 462 and 467 MHz band:

Ch.	Frequency (MHz)	Max Power	Ch.	Frequency (MHz)	Max Power	Ch.	Frequency (MHz)	Max Power
1	462.5625	2 W	8	467.5625	0.5 W	15	462.5500	2 W
2	462.5875	2 W	9	467.5625	0.5 W	16	462.5750	2 W
3	462.6125	2 W	10	467.5875	0.5 W	17	462.6000	2 W
4	462.6375	2 W	11	467.6125	0.5 W	18	462.6250	2 W
5	462.6625	2 W	12	467.6375	0.5 W	19	462.6500	2 W
6	462.6875	2 W	13	467.6625	0.5 W	20	462.6750	2 W
7	462.7125	2 W	14	467.7125	0.5 W	21	462.7000	2 W
						22	462.7250	2 W

In Canada, repeater and high-power operations are not permitted, where as in the US, they are with a GMRS license.

In the US, Channels 15 ‒ 22 are shared with licensed GMRS radios.

Each frequency has the same channel number regardless of the device brand.

CTCSS/DCS

To help quiet (squelch) unwanted signals, FRS radios have the option of transmitting a CTCSS tone or DCS code (AKA: “PL tones”, or “sub-audible tones”). These are low “bass notes” or digital information that the radio transmits on top of the voice, but which can't really be heard. If the receiver is configured to expect a specific tone/code, it will keep the speaker squelched unless that tone/code is detected. This is useful to ignore chatter from others on a busy channel, but if two radios with different tones transmit at the same time on the same channel, they will interfere with one another.

K0TFU has a really good article explaining all of this for FRS radios: FRS/GMRS Privacy Codes Demystified, and our own site goes a little deeper in the context of ham radios.

Different brands of radios use different numbers to represent different tones/codes.

By default (and especially in an emergency situation), CTCSS/DCS should be disabled so that your radio can hear everyone.

Choosing a Radio

Here are three restrictions that preclude Baofeng radios from operating on FRS frequencies. From ISED, RSS-210, Annex E:

The antenna of FRS devices shall be an integral part of the unit.

FRS/GMRS devices shall not:

be designed to interconnect to public switched telephone networks

be designed to transmit data in store-and-forward packet operation mode

incorporate one or more scrambling features (e.g. encryption, voice inversion, obscuring)

All frequency determining circuitry, including crystals and programming controls, shall be internal to the transmitter and made inaccessible to the user from the exterior of the device.

FRS radios cannot be connected to a better antenna to extend the range, or be able to transmit on non-FRS frequencies.

There are a lot of “toy” FRS radios out there, so a good radio will tend to be a bit more expensive. The typical range could be anywhere from 1 km to 10 km depending on the terrain and elevation, but should not vary much from radio to radio. Here's a good explanation of what affects range in the context of ham radio.

Here's a short list of good radios at every price point:

The Rocky Talkie Mountain Radio is $220 USD each.
The Backcountry Access BC Link 2.0 is $206 USD each.
The Retevis RB48 is $115 CAD for a pair.
The Midland T10 is $30 USD for a pair.

See the Wirecutter site for reviews and a list of what to avoid.

First Use Setup

Refer to the user manual for specific instructions, but in general, you should:

Disable the CTCSS/DCS on all 22 channels. On the Revetis RB48, the CTCSS/DCS is represented by a number between 1 and 121 (on the right). The number 0 means that CTCSS or DCS is disabled.
Disable the Roger Beep, which is short chirp that's transmitted when you let go of the PTT button to indicate that you're done talking. It can be pretty annoying for others.
Disable VOX, which is an option to transmit without pressing the PTT.

MeshCore

From Wikipedia:

MeshCore is an open-source mesh networking protocol and software platform designed for off-grid, low-power text communication using LoRa (Long Range) radio technology. The system enables decentralized, multi-hop wireless messaging without reliance on cellular networks or internet infrastructure.

Use cases include emergency and disaster communications, outdoor and remote activities, [...] and experimental and educational deployments of low-power mesh networking.

[It] is designed to [...] operate in unlicensed ISM frequency bands such as 868 MHz and 915 MHz, depending on regional regulations.

The basic idea is that you get a small companion device that you pair to your cell phone via bluetooth, and via that device, you can text others or post public messages using the 915 MHz band, all without a special license.

See this page for more information on how to get started.

The current network reaches from Parkville to Victoria to Abbotsford.

EARLY DRAFT

radiogram_txt_files_v20250606.zip

Radiogram txt

Overview

Radiogram_txt_files_v20250606.zip contains a folder structure with txt files that can be read and edited by any device. The purpose of these files is to provide a simple workflow to allow multiple operators to separate the tasks of receiving and delivering on traffic.

The workflow assumes that each operator has access to a computer with a shared drive (via LAN or otherwise).

Here's an overview of the process:

Scenario: A disaster zone (circled in red) only has access to radio comms, and various people check in to a net to pass traffic to the wider world. The net controllers are outside the disaster zone and have access to phones and the internet.

On the disaster zone side:

Radio operators in the disaster zone check into the net to pass traffic.
Net controllers outside the disaster zone take checkins based on proper priority.
To log the traffic, they take a serialized template file from the 1. Templates folder and move it to their individual 2. Work Folder (which they renamed with their name).
They edit the template file with all relevant information, save it, and rename it to include the precedence, date and time, and serial number.
They then move the file to the 3. Landline Outbox folder where a different operator will try and contact the recipient.
The net controllers continue to take check ins and file more traffic files to the 3. Landline Outbox.

On the unaffected side:

Other volunteers (who don't need to be radio operators), move the first file from the 3. Landline Outbox (which will automatically sorted by precedence and date-time) to their individual 2. Work Folder.
Using the information in the file, they attempt to contact the recipient.
1. If they can't deliver the message, they write some notes in the file and leave it in their work folder as a reminder to try again later.
2. If they successfully sent the message and a reply doesn't need to be sent back, they move the file to the 4. Sent folder where it is archived as part of the records.
3. If they successfully sent the message and a reply needs to be sent back, they move the file to the appropriate 3. Radio Outbox, where the net controllers will follow the same process to action it.

Instructions

Initial Setup

Download radiogram_txt_files_v20250606.zip and extract it to a shared folder.
Each operator should copy the folder named 2. YOUR NAME Work Folder and rename it with their name. This will be their work folder. No one else should touch files in their folder.
Each operator should edit the Copy Paste.txt text file that's in their work folder with their information. This will help them fill out the message files more quickly by allowing them to copy and paste information that is always the same.

Receiving a Message

The folder named 1. Templates contains a list of serialized message template files. Move (don't copy) the file with the smallest serial number to your work folder. That way, it will no longer be available for others to use, and only you will be working on it as long as it's in your work folder.
As you receive the message, fill out the required information. See below for more info.
Save the file and rename it so that its name is exactly what is written on the forth line of the message. Ex.:
2P | 2025-06-05 06:19 | 027.txt
This will ensure that multiple files will be sorted by precedence first, then by creation date and time.
Move (don't copy) the message to the appropriate outbox folder (3. Landline Outbox or 3. Radio Outbox)

Delivering a Message

If you are using a phone or computer to send your messages, your message queue is: 3. Landline Outbox
If you are using a radio to send your message, your message queue is: 3. Radio Outbox

Drag the first message in the queue to your work folder so that no one else grabs it.
Add the Date Time and your sender information.
Use the information entered by the message receiver to try and contact the person.
1. If you can't deliver the message, write yourself some extra notes in the space below the message field and try again later. Leave that message in your working folder.
2. If you successfully sent the message and a reply doesn't need to be sent back, move the message to the 4. Sent folder.
3. If you successfully sent the message and a reply needs to be sent back, move the message to the appropriate outbox folder.

Reference

Precedences

From: https://www.arrl.org/chapter-six-arrl-precedences-and-handling-instructions

1E: Emergency

Any message having life and death urgency to any person or group of persons. This includes official messages of welfare agencies during emergencies requesting supplies, materials or instructions vital to relief to stricken populace in emergency areas. During normal times, it will be very rare. When in doubt, do not use this designation.

2P: Priority

This classification is for important messages having a specific time limit, official messages not covered in the emergency category, press dispatches and emergency-related traffic not of the utmost urgency.

3W: Welfare

This classification refers to either an inquiry as to the health and welfare of an individual in the disaster area or an advisory from the disaster area that indicates all is well. Welfare traffic is handled only after all emergency and priority traffic is cleared.

4R: Routine

Most traffic in normal times will bear this designation. In disaster situations, traffic labeled Routine should be handled last, or not at all when circuits are busy with higher-precedence traffic.

Initial Actions in the Event of an Emergency

In the event of a significant emergency affecting communications across the Sunshine Coast, all amateur radio operators should:

Monitor the VE7RXZ repeater on VHF 147.220 MHz +0.6 T100.0 for traffic or requests for assistance from VE7SCE.
If VE7RXZ is not operational, monitor 147.220 with 100Hz tone (without any offset) (Net controllers monitor 147.820 for operators that are operating in duplex and let them know to go to simplex on 147.220 T100.0)
If able, also monitor VE7SCK 442.650 +5.0 T100.0.
If VE7SCK is not operational, monitor 442.650 with 100Hz tone (without any offset) (Net controllers monitor 447.650 for operators that are operating in duplex and let them know to go to simplex on 442.650 T100.0)
If able, also monitor simplex VHF: 1: 146.430 MHz, 2: 147.540 MHz, 3: 146.490 MHz, 146.565 MHz for traffic or request for assistance from VE7SCE.
If able, monitor EMBC HF frequencies for information (see below).

It is unlikely that VE7SCE will use HF for local communications on the Sunshine Coast, however relays may be required for another station on frequency and operators should monitor EMBC or BCPSN HF frequencies if able to do so.

National HF Emergency Communications Frequencies

Source: RAC

The following frequencies and modes have been pre-determined for suggested use of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service during a declared emergency, or a disaster declared or otherwise, occurring anywhere in Canada. These frequencies have been registered with the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) for its listings of Canadian national emergency frequencies in IARU Region 2.

These are suggested frequencies and should not be construed as meaning that other HF frequencies may not be considered for Emcomm operations.

No Amateur Radio operator or group has exclusive ownership of any particular frequency on any band and, while common sense and courtesy logically would dictate that other Radio Amateurs should keep clear of frequencies being used for emergency or disaster operations, the affected ARES Net Control Station (NCS) must be prepared to move up or down from the pre-determined frequency, as required, in order to conduct operations. Entering into an on-air argument must be avoided.
