-~~NOTOC~~
-====== The BC Forest Service Radio Communication Network  ======
-{{ references:scmap.png?200}} The [[https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=2380 |radioreference.com]] site lists the BC Forest Fire Frequencies with very little explanation.
-Fortunately, the [[https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/governments/services-for-government/information-management-technology/provincial-natural-resource-sector-radio-system |BC Provincial Natural Resource page]] links to the {{https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/british-columbians-our-governments/services-policies-for-government/information-technology/provincial-nrs-radio-system/radio_handbook.pdf |Radio Communication Field Handbook}}: a 56-page pdf that includes pretty much everything about the system.
-The Network comprises of:
-  * 331 mountain top repeater sites arranged into district systems
-  * 100 base stations
-  * 6 regional fire centres (each with multiple dispatch stations)
-The information on pages 40-41, and 45 is summarized here:

-====== Resource Road and Highway Channels ======
-It's also probably worth mentioning that the [[https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=6435 |Resource Road and Highway Channels]] are explained on pp. 18--21 of the Handbook but the frequencies are not listed there.  BC Resource Road Radio Channel Maps can also be found on the [[https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/natural-resource-use/resource-roads/radio-communications/channel-maps |government website]].
