Fossett Search

[PHall]

Geez
A far as OPSET and CAP frequencies go. You can do a Goggle search for CAP SAR frequencies and watch what comes up..

The OPSEC rules say that if they don't have a valid need for the info, we don't give it to them.
Now if they Google it and come up with the info, fine.

The main thing is that we lived up to our side of the agreement with the Air Force about the frequencies.

So who defines "official use"? Would it be any different if the person had a legitimate "official use" for the frequencies (ie had been assigned to work with us by competent authority)? Is that official enough?

Gentlemen, I'm sorry to get off the subject of the last few posts before this one, but has there been any updates regarding the Fossett search? Has he been found? Also, allow me to apologize for my laziness. Reading is not one of my strong points (meaning that I'm too lazy to do so).

Quick interjection here, re FOUO and handling of CAP Frequencies.

Sure, you can, they can, we all can, 'google' for it. However if the personnel on site are handling the information as we have been now recently asked, and required to do, then when we get our new frequency assignments, things will be a lot harder, supposedly, to google for ...

Let's Stop All This BS.
1. I am the accused offending party.
2. I was not the IC or Comm. I was OPS.
3. I often come across as "RUDE".
4. I didn't see the helicopter until after the discussion, but it would not have made a difference as he was not a uniformed Law Enforcement Officer.
5. If you identify yourself as a Corporate Executive from Silver State Helicopters, then try to pass yourself off as a Law Enforcement Officer to try and get additional information, I will know you too are lying.
6. No rotary wing assetts from outside Nevada were requested to assist by Nevada OES. They were all privateers looking to cash in and were being paid by the Hilton and Fossett families.
7. I don't know or care if he was offended by my being rude. I do know he was pissed off that he couldn't get his way after attempting to intimidate me with the "LE" card.
8. According to what I see here, many non-posters agree with some of you that I was wrong in the way I handled this situation. Since none of you seem to have the courage to confront me directly, then I will say I really don't care how you feel about it. If you don't like me or my style, you are cordially invited to not participate in future events where I am involved.
9. Why was this post allowed to stand anyway? What's with the agreement on Terms Of Use.

Who doesnt have the courage?  I told you that you were wrong when you did it.

This thread, which I suspect is going to get locked, was for this specific incident with the helicopter.

The general Fossett thread which has been used to discuss the overall search is here:
CAP Aircraft Searching for Steve Fossett

Those wanting updates on the search should direct their queries there.

Maybe it should be locked.  So far, Tom and I were the only two people there.  Everything else is speculation.  Tom and I dont agree on how it was handled and hopefully we can meet up someday for a cup.
