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.
