ARLA/CLUSTER: A 4 e 5 de Junho teste internacional em Ondas Curtas organizado pela High Frequency Coordination Commission

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

International SW Disaster Test

Members of the shortwave listening community can pencil in their logbooks
an extremely exciting upcoming date.

On June 4-5, 2014, listeners can attempt to log an international test being
organized by the High Frequency Coordination Commission of the *International
Radio for Disaster Relief* project.

During these dates, the IRDR will be tested on the shortwave bands at the
Media Summit on Climate Change, Information and Communication Technologies,
and Disaster Risk Reduction in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The IRDR will simulate a major disaster occurring in Southeast Asia, and
multiple international broadcasters will be cooperating to support
coordinated humanitarian coverage for the impacted region.

Mr. Oldrich Cip of the HFCC graciously confirmed to ReliefAnalysis.com that
the roster of broadcaster participants is being organized, and there could
well be QSL opportunities for this historic occasion via those outlets.

IRDR from the HFCC.

 my thoughts on how shortwave radio can cross the digital divide, literacy
divide, and disaster divide. This piece recently ran on the web site of
InterAction—a coalition of 300 international NGOs.

I’m going to be closely following this event as it gets closer. I’m very
excited about what this test could mean for the evolution of humanitarian
applications in the world of shortwave broadcasting.
