Italy flood response
Fol­low­ing flash flood­ing in the Lig­uria and Tus­cany regions of North West Italy last week which killed 10 peo­ple, fur­ther heavy rain has struck the region killing more peo­ple in flood­ing. The Ama­teur Radio Vol­un­tary com­mu­ni­ca­tions group RNRE has been asked by their gov­ern­ment to pro­vide addi­tion­al radio com­mu­ni­ca­tions in the affect­ed areas from Fri­day 4th Novem­ber until at least Mon­day 7th November.
HF Fre­quen­cies which may be used in Italy are 3.760MHz, 3643MHz and 7.045–7.060MHz. Ama­teurs are asked to lis­ten care­ful­ly before using these fre­quen­cies to avoid caus­ing QRM to emer­gency nets.
