               Wilderness Protocol  
    
Source: "Amateur Radio Emergency Service, ARES Field Manual"
published by the American Radio Relay League, page 76 
              ============================= 

     The Wilderness protocol (see page 101, August 1995 QST) calls
for wilderness hams to announce their presence on, and to monitor,
the national calling frequencies for five minutes beginning at the
top of the hour, every three hours from 7 AM to 7 PM while in the
back country. 

     A ham in a remote location may be able to relay emergency
information through another wilderness ham who has better access to a
repeater. 

     Calling Frequencies: 52.525, 146.52, 223.50, 446.00, 1294.50
MHz.  
          =================================================
