(Radio Procedures During Emergencies - continued)
26. Always know your location. If you are mobile or port-
able and moving around, always keep a sharp lookout for land-
marks. You must be able, if called upon, the accurately describe
your location at any time. This is particularly important if you
with a search team or other mobile units.
27. On VHF and UHF frequencies, particularly when on the
fringes of communications, look for a receiving "hot spot" site
and use it. Don't walk around talking while in a communications
fringe area. Repeaters have much more power than your handheld.
Even if you have a good signal from a repeater, it does not mean
you are good going into the repeater.
28. If you check into an emergency net, you must monitor on
the net frequency. If you must leave the frequency, ask
permission from the NCS. Report to the NCS when you return to
the net. It is vital that the NCS know the availability of each
station on the net and it is up to YOU to keep the NCS advised.
However, if the NCS is very busy and you must leave the net, do
so without interrupting the net.
29. Net Control Stations frequently are very busy with work
that is not on the air. If you call the NCS or dispatcher and do
not get a reply, be patient and call again in a minute or two.
If you have an emergency, say you have "Emergency traffic" after
you identify yourself when you call the NCS. Be patient with the
NCS and other stations.
