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.
