Bulletin:
The National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) has issued an
urgent bulletin.
Four TREMOR
(Tactical Response and Emergency Mobility Operations Resource)
teams have been dispatched to rescue a stranded quake team
(reference
GC120DD).
The stranded team is located somewhere within the
general area of the epicenter (see map). Since communications have been
severely compromised, the only way to contact the team is to direct
them via radio-waves to a specific point where they can then be
instructed on rescue operations.
Scope of Rescue
Each TREMOR team is provided with a
2-way radio pre-programmed with one of 2 frequencies.
Teams will be sent to the locations indicated in the
grid below.
Since the affected area has extremely limited
communications capabilities, each team can only communicate with
the team directly across from them on their pre-programmed
narrow-band frequency. See Chart 1.
v
Blue Team: Team
GerIRL and Team AVGraphics has been set-up to communicate on
Channel 10, frequency 467.6125 MHz.
v
Red Team: Team
Resolution and Team Old Navy are paired on Channel 21, frequency
462.700 MHz
Stranded team’s electronics (cell phone, 2-way radio
and GPSr) have all malfunctioned due to
isolated shock-wave interference. Interestingly, their 2-way radio
is stuck on GUARD emergency frequency that can receive
both 467.6125 MHz and
462.700 MHz. This
team can only receive instruction from the other teams when
it’s 2-way radio is located
precisely at the intersection of the 2 inbound
frequencies. They
realize what they have to do and start to move depending on
the strength of the incoming signals. The strongest signal,
they know, will come from the exact point of
intersection.
There, they’ll get the rescue extraction
information.
Your task as team lead is it to determine this point
of intersection. All
the information you need is below:

Congrats to Team Resolution on their FTF. Well done
