The next IARU EmComm Par­ty on the Air is sched­uled for the 8th of Novem­ber between 0400 and 0800 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 being finalised and pub­lished here and HERE.
