Global Simulated Emergency Test-April 2009
Saturday April 18th 2009 11:00 – 15:00 UTC
IARU R1 invites the HQ- Stations of all IARU Member Societies and stations
of Emergency
Communications Groups to participate in a Global Simulated Emergency
Communications
Groups to participate in a Global Simulated Emergency Test on Saturday
April 18th, 2009
11:00 – 15:00 UTC. The operation will take place on and near the emergency
Centre of
Activity (CoA) frequencies on 80, 40, 20, 17 and 15 meters (+ - QRM).
The Objectives of the Test are:
1. Increase the common interest in emergency communications.
2. Test how usable the CoA frequencies are across ITU regions.
3. Create practices for international emergency communication and
4. Practice the relaying of messages using all modes.
The exercise will build on earlier GlobalSET exercise by starting to pass
messages in a
format which we may have to use for the agencies we may serve. The message
exchange
will take longer than in previous exercises and stations will have to be
patient to transmit
their messages across country and language boundaries.
So, please remember that this is not a contest, it is an emergency
communications
exercise to develop the skills we will need to provide an international
emergency network.
Messages may be passed on voice (SSB), Data or CW modes as detailed below.
Voice Mode
Each IARU Region will have a HQ station operating on voice as follows:
Region 1 – GB4NRC
Region 2 – TG0AA
Region 3 - TBA
HQ stations will be QRV simultaneously on all CoA frequencies appropriate
to their region
+ - QRM as shown below.
Region 1 Region 2 Region 3
3760 3750 o 3985 3760
7110 7060, 7240 o 7290 7060
14300 14300 14300
18160 18160 18160
21360 21360 21360
Stations intending to participate are requested to register through their
IARU
Regional/National Emergency Communications Coordinators as follows;
Region 1- http://www.iaru-r1.org/EMERCOM%20Coords.htm
Region 2- http://www.iaru-r2.org/emergencies/
Region 3 – Email globalset08@raynet-hf.net
In Region 1 & 2 if your country does not have National Co-Ordinator then
please contact
the regional co-ordinator via the details on the websites.
A list of participating stations will also be available at
www.raynet-hf.net
Participating stations should call “CQ GLOBALSETö giving their callsign
and organization
(ARES, RAYNET, NETMAR etc.).
MESSAGE FORMAT
Each participating station will send messages to their Regional HQ station
formatted using
the IARU International Emergency Operating Procedure which can be seen at
http://www.iaru-r1.org/HFEmergOpProc.htm
That page also has the message forms (http://www.iaru-r3.org/dcom/IARU-msg1
.pdf) to
be used for the exercise.
Stations should relay messages received towards the Regional HQ station.
To comply with license regulations, all messages should be addressed to
Greg Mossop,
G0DUB and should come from a licensed radio amateur.
Messages should be less than 25 words and should not include anything
which would be
considered as a “real emergencyö message by a listener.
For example;
- Weather report at the station location
- Number of operators available
- Interesting fact about the station.
Would all be acceptable messages. An example message would be;
1 Routine ZS6BUU 6 Johannesburg 1100 8 APR
To Greg Mossop G0DUB
Johannesburg weather 15 degrees and sunny
From Francois Botha ZS6BUU
There is no limit on the number of messages to be sent but each one must
have a unique
message number.
Regional HQ stations will not be sending messages, only receiving them.
To avoid QRMing the HQ stations, please move to frequencies near the CoA
in steps of 5
KHz for contacts with others.
To create a more realistic situation, please limit your transmitting power
during the
exercise to 100 Watts. We are especially interested in station operating
mobile/portable and/or on emergency power.
Data modes
Data stations must send the same format as used for voice messages.
There will not be any HQ stations for data modes, data stations should use
the
frequencies defined for their preferred mode in national bandplans. This
makes the
use of “CQ GLOBALSETö and registering your intended participation
particularly
important.
“Structuredö modes such as Winlink, ALE, PSKmail should send their
messages directly
to g0dub@winlink.org , other data modes should attempt to relay the
messages
through two other stations before sending them to globalset-data@raynet-hf.
net for
analysis.
CW Mode
CW is included in this SET to increase the possibility of stations making
contacts in
difficult conditions and should be used when SSB or data contacts are
proving
impossible. There will not be any HQ stations for CW; CW stations should
operate near
the CoA frequencies when SSB traffic cannot be heard.
CW stations must send the same format as used for voice messages and not
exceed 15
wpm. If necessary CW messages can be relayed through two other stations
before
sending them to globalset-cw@raynet-hf.net for analysis.
Conclusion
A log sheet (http://www.iaru-r3.org/dcom/GlobalSETLog.xls) for messages
passed is
provided at http://www.iaru-r1.org/HFEmerg0pProc.htm so that analysis of
the exercise
will be easier. Stations are only required to submit logs of the messages
relayed, not the
messages themselves. Please send your logs with comments, pictures and
suggestions for
future exercises to; globalset08@raynet-hf.net as soon as possible after
the SET and no
later than 1st June so that a report of the event can be produced.
Thanks for your support of emergency communications.
Greg Mossop, G0DUB
IARU Region 1 Emergency Communications Coordinator.
