ARLA/CLUSTER: Radioamadores americanos treinam suporte de emergência para apoiar o publico

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Radio hams train for emergencies to support the public

Key Peninsula News reports the RF Wireless Amateur Radio Club will be
participating in Field Day which takes place June 24-25

*Lynn Neece WR7G*, a member of RF Wireless Amateur Radio Club of Burley,
said that while field day is an opportunity for the public to learn about
the hobby and how to get started, for members it is also a training
exercise for responding to a natural disaster or other emergency.

Members will experience what it is like to operate away from their normal
home stations by being part of a simulated emergency that requires setting
up under adverse conditions, including the use of emergency power and
portable antennas. The exercise will provide a chance to test systems and
practice emergency protocols that are necessary when regular communications
are disrupted.

Neece said he enjoys the technical side of the hobby and derives
satisfaction from knowing that he would be able to help out neighbors in
the event of emergency and reach his family in Pennsylvania.
