Emergency Comms activities in Region 1 -
Oct 13/14

October 13/14 was a busy weekend in IARU Region 1 with two major exercises
and at least one emergency happening

In Oman Younis A41MA reports that as Tropical Storm Luban heads towards
Oman and Yemen the National Committee of Civil Defence has deployed
resources to the South of the country ready to deal with the flooding
predicted to hit the area.

An initial four amateur radio volunteers are present to help provide links
to any isolated locations. This operation is initially on VHF but HF is
ready to be used if required. Storms in this area generally go
under-reported but are just as severe as other disasters with the previous
two tropical cyclones in the Arabian Sea claiming nearly 300 lives.

In Spain their 'Field Day 2018' exercise took place on Saturday (13th
October) with a focus on Net Control activities. HF is expected to be in
use on 7110, 7145, 7175 and 14315kHz. Winlink and VHF/DMR will also be
used. Full details are available at
https://emergencias.ure.es/field-day-2018/ .

Finally Radio Amateurs in Romania are participating in an European
Community Exercise in their country. ModEx 2018 will call for the use of
3710 and 7130kHz along with VHF/DMR, full information is at
https://www.radioamator.ro/info.php?id=795

All exercises and actual emergencies should be expected to identify as
'emergency exercise' or 'exercise' on the air. When these events are
watched by representatives from our Administrations it is important that
Amateur Radio is seen positively so please allow the operators room to
operate.
