     According to 1984 FCC records, the	Mt. Hood Ski Patrol,
     Inc.  has these stations licensed for Special Emergency
     use in the	Public Safety radio service:


Mt. Hood Ski Patrol, Inc
		       [Government Camp, O]_ 155.2050____KON213	   (govt recds)
	      "	       [Government Camp, O]_ 155.2050____KON215	   (govt recds)
	      "	       [Parkdale, OR]_______ 155.2050____KON216	   (govt recds)

     Transmitting equipment used on these  frequencies	must
     be	 type accepted for this	class of service.  Thus, the
     Kenwood TR2500 could not legally be used for  transmis-
     sion on these frequencies.

     The FCC may be more flexible in  emergency	 situations,
     e.g., those in which life or property is in danger.
