Ham radio operators to conduct major emergency test

On Thursday, the Oregon Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) will
conduct a challenging Simulated Emergency Test (SET).

Thursday’s test is unique, as this is the first time "ham" radio
operators have done a SET in Deschutes County with a large geographic
spread of the stations, from Sisters-Camp Sherman on down to La Pine.

Ham radio groups involved in emergency communications are encouraged
to participate in these events so the radio operators become familiar
with all of the procedures used to assist government agencies during
disasters. These drills also ensure all of the radio stations and
computer networks provided by the hams are fully functional.

Locally, the Deschutes County Amateur Radio Emergency Service/Auxcomm
(DCARES/AUXCOMM) conducts several of these tests every year in
addition to providing communications for major public events where no
other form of communication is available.
