[FedCom] South Georgia Fire Frequencies

[Mac McCormick III]

Due to some band enhancement last night, I was able to search out some 
frequencies for the forest fires in south Georgia (Ware/Atkinson County 
areas).  I found three frequencies active, all of which were repeater 
outputs; the repeaters themselves seem to be linked or are multicasting the 
traffic.  Many of the callsigns being used are ICS related because the 
repeater(s) are being used as a command net.  There are also references to 
North Repeater, East Repeater, etc. but I think these are references to the 
specific repeaters within the system.
