Resource Roads Question

[VFX_man]

Hi all, trying to educate myself on how the new Resource Road Radio channel system works. Have looked at this: http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/in...s/channel-maps

But have a few questions . . .

For example, in the map below {A}:
1) It Lists the Mount Woodside as RR-1, does that mean that all logging/resource activity in that area will be broadcasting on RR-1?
2) There are other areas in this region [not seen here] that also are called out as RR-1, would they be on the same frequency?
3) If you are in another region [say Kamloops] and there is a RR-1 there as well, would they be on the same frequency?

In the 2nd radio frequency image image {B}:
1) Would RR-1 be the frequency in all of BC that is labelled as such? 150.0800 MHz

Each RR channel uses the same frequency across the province. Your RR1 will be the same everywhere. Nice and easy!! Finally.

1. Yes. All road activity should be on that frequency, and it should be posted at the entrance to the resource road. All on the block logging activities will be on a non RR frequency and would be posted at the entrances to the blocks.

2. Yes. That's why it's important to name the road you are on when calling your KMs.

3. Yes. Standardized across the province. It makes it safer because you only have to get your radio programmed once, for the whole province. Unfortunately, not all roads use the RR channels. Some use local frequencies that should be posted at the road entrance. They are for the most part lesser travelled roads I've come across since the system is being rolled out.

When programing your radio put RR one in as Channel one. RR two as Channel two. ETC. this keeps it simple to find the proper frequencies. I also do the same for the Loading Channels. Loading channel one use channel # one o one, Loading channel five use channel one o five etc.
