Ireland: AREN News
The first National training net of the winter season was held on Wednesday
night last, the 18th of October.
Conditions on the 80-metre band were good and communication was established
successfully between all
stations. Thanks to those who participated. Details of the next Net on
the 15th of November will be published in due course.
IARU Region 1 has invited HQ-stations of its member
societies and stations of special emergency communication groups including
AREN to participate in the First EmCom party on the Air. This will be
held on the 18th of November.
The operation will happen on the IARU emergency centre-of-activity frequencies
on 40, 20 and 15 meters (+/-QRM). During the first party the centre frequencies
on 80 and 17
meters will not be used.
The objective of the party is to:
1) increase the common interest among member societies
in emergency communication,
2) test how usable these frequencies are across the Region
One and
3) create practices for international emergency communication
between Region 1 member societies and special emergency communication
groups. There are also some special stations invited to participate like
4U1ITU, TP2CE and ITU conference station from Turkey.
This is not a contest but an emergency communication
exercise! AREN will be participating. Again more details will be published
soon.
