Netherlands/Belgium 'Power Failure' Exercise

On Wednesday, June 8 between 1800-1930 UT Radio Amateurs from the
DARES Emergency Group in the Netherlands and B-EARS in Belgium will be
taking part in an exercise simulating a Power Outage in the south of
the Netherlands and part of Belgium

In the exercise scenario the groups have been requested to provide
welfare and secondary communications links between North Brabant (near
Eindhoven) and the rest of the country.

The exercise will test the ability of the groups to set up a wide area
VHF and a HF network on the planned frequencies of 7065 kHz (Primary)
and 7110kHz (Secondary). The 7065 kHz frequency being needed as Novice
Licences in the Netherlands (PD) are not allowed to operate above 7100
kHz. Operations will be mostly voice but Winlink/Digital modes may
also be used.

Radio Amateurs are asked to keep those frequencies clear for the time
of the exercise.
