BITS & PIECES -
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS IN ITALY -
As a result of further tremors on the afternoon of May 29 emergency
communication has been intensified by the radio amateurs. Due to a
request of
the Italian civil defence authority the National emergency radio and
volunteer
group (RNRE) sent a mobile unit of five radio amateurs to the crisis
region in
northern Italy and prepared two other units which are ready for
immediate use.
The HF frequency 7060 kHz is used by IQ1HQ, the RNRE headquarters, and
IQ0TK,
the civil defence authority in Rome. VHF links are currently running on
145.200
MHz. The main earthquake occurred on May 20 at 0200 UTC in the region of
Emilia
Romagna in northern Italy.
------------------------------
EUFF GREEN PARTY 2012 -
The EUFF Green Party 2012 will take place on 9th June, 0600-1759
UTC. This
day is thought to encourage amateurs to leave their home QTH and do some
portable activities in nature. QSOs with stations in WFF areas are supported
especially. See also: http://www.wff44.org/committees/day and
