Glob­al Sim­u­lat­ed Emer­gency Test, 14th Novem­ber 2009

The next Glob­al Sim­u­lat­ed Emer­gency Test (Glob­alSET ) is sched­uled for the 14th of Novem­ber between 1800 and 2200 hours UTC. The time of each exer­cise changes to allow more sta­tions to par­tic­i­pate from around the world as well as recog­nis­ing that emer­gen­cies can hap­pen at any time.
This is an exer­cise between sta­tions inter­est­ed in emer­gency com­mu­ni­ca­tions and is not a con­test. Activ­i­ty will be con­cen­trat­ed around the IARU Emer­gency Cen­tre of Activ­i­ty fre­quen­cies which are now incor­po­rat­ed in band­plans around the world.
The details of the exer­cise are on the IARU Region 1 web­site (www.iaru-r1.org) under the Emer­gency Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Work­ing Group sec­tion of the site.
