I stumbled onto this today, not sure if it has been discussed or not but NCSWIC is an acronym for a council under CISA.
https://www.cisa.gov/safecom/about-ncswic
"Mission The NCSWIC, through the SWIC, promotes and implements strategies for achieving effective public safety communications by developing professional partnerships and collaborating with public safety agencies and policy makers.
SWIC Responsibilities Overseeing the daily operation of the state’s interoperability efforts Coordinating interoperability and communications projects Maintaining governance structures Assembling working groups to develop and implement key initiatives Updating and implementing the Statewide Communication Interoperability Plans (SCIP) "
I will add one mini fact, after having worked on SCIP/SWIN for many years.
The backbone is a mostly unencrypted HF radio net, between 8 and 20MHz, and IIRC 11.56MHz is the all-stations hailing freq. Since it can be bounced off the ionosphere, you can talk to stations halfway across the globe without a repeater. It is monitored 24x7, with direct comms to military commanders and governors while activated (I.e. during an emergency).
Take from that what you will. It'd be nice to bring in hamfags to hear from them, but HF is way outside the ham bands.
Spez: MHz, not kHz.
Please check. These are audible frequencies, not HF!
You're right, coffee was needed first. Will edit and go hang my dick out in shame.
