[FedCom] Federal activity in Plainfield, NH?

[HornSmoke]

Folks,

A well-placed acquaintance shared this story with me, and mentioned 
that, although the feds have backed off, there is still an active level 
of  surveillance going on. This tidbit should NOT be betraying any 
covert op, given the extremely public  nature of the coverage, as it 
made the Boston Globe. All one has to do is read between the lines, 
especially with the "wait and see" approach of federal law enforcement.

I put this out to the List for research purposes only. The article, 
along with the link, is below. Google Earth has an interesting 
perspective on the "fortress" that the article references. My 
acquaintance mentioned that this fellow has a dual .50 cal MG mounted on 
a belfrey-like structure on his roof, five-foot thick concrete walls, 
and a bunker. That, plus the enormous quantity of ammo and the five 
years of rations he has bragged about elsewhere, makes one wonder about 
how much money a dentist can make. There's a shortage of them here in 
Maine (LOL!)

Some pertinent questions to the Elmers of this List, based on your 
diverse experiences:

1) when multiple agencies are involved (such as FBI, U.S. Marshals, 
etc.) do they revert to the generic 163.100, 163.200R, or on a shared 
system?

2) would the FBI repeater system utilized? How much inter-agency sharing 
is there?

3) Would Nextel be employed, or, like much of rural Maine, is Plainfield 
bereft of reliable Nextel communications?

4)  Is there a published SOP per region? If so, which agency establishes 
jurisdiction? Who would become, in this situation, for example, the 
on-site OIC?

I realize there are many variances, however, from state to state. I 
welcome your elucidations, especially from our fine monitors in the 
Plainfield, NH area.

Best to the List,

Loren in Maine
