British Columbia Forest Service Road Radio Frequency – BC FSR

If you spend any time in the backroads of BC, chances are you’ve seen signs similar to this:

These are BC Forestry resource road (RR) radio channels. Primarily used by logging trucks and other resource vehicles, these channels are used to direct traffic and to ensure you don’t have a head on collision. Many roads require you to call your kilometeres as you’re driving to ensure safety. For example

If you’re heading up the road, you start at even kilometres and odd kilometres when travelling down. It’s important to be on the correct channel when you’re driving on the roads, as each branch may have a different channel. It’s also important to not use the RR channels for general chit-chat and chatter, use simplex channels if you’d like to chat. Keep in mind these RR are used commercially, and other truck drivers may not like you hopping on their channels.

Check below for the channels used in your area.
