ARRL Simulated Emergency Test on the Horizon: Start Planning Now
ARRL’s Simulated Emergency Test (SET) is October 4-5, 2025. This nationwide exercise is the chance to test your personal emergency operating skills and the readiness of your communications equipment and accessories in a simulated emergency-like deployment. ARRL Field Organization leaders at the Section and local levels, and many other volunteers who are active in public service and emergency communications, are developing emergency-like scenarios in consultation with a variety of agencies and organizations for whom radio amateurs are known to provide service during emergencies.
ARES, National Traffic System (NTS), Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES), SKYWARN, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN), other allied groups, and public-service oriented radio amateurs are among those who are eligible to participate in the exercise and to practice emergency operation plans, nets and procedures. For this year’s test, there will be bonus points for cooperation with Army MARS stations and sharing information between MARS and amateur radio stations.
