Hmm, wonder what impact California Senate Bill 571 will have on media/photographers in wildfire zones.

@douglasvb Yes, this is what i was wondering about.

@ai6yr maybe reflective tape saying "LANDOWNER" is the key

@douglasvb I was thinking the same thing for the Nomex I have, in case I wanted to stay here and put out spot fires.

@ai6yr or

Southern Sierra Prescribed Fire Council

(Or whatever your local burn cooperative is)

@douglasvb I was thinking putting black tape over all the old agency markings on the gear here, then think of the right reflective mark over that. Given I sometimes do photography I could just default to "MEDIA"

@ai6yr I would think you'd go with

AMATEUR RADIO OPERATOR

@douglasvb @ai6yr then you would just need one of those Ham Radio badges to go with it. I'm sure that would keep you safe and above board

@bud_t @douglasvb @ai6yr If nothing else, at least it's effective birth control

@W6KME @bud_t @douglasvb

@ai6yr @W6KME @bud_t back before I met my wife, I had a non zero number of dates and girlfriends who liked that I had an amateur radio license

All it does is provide a good filter. Only cool people who enjoy communications using less than mass market means need apply
