MARS-Amateur Radio Interoperability Exercise to Test “Very Bad Day” Scenario: From October 30 through Novembe... https://t.co/0Dpnd1etc1
— ARRL (@arrl) October 19, 2016
The RRRA Christmas Party will be held on Wednesday, December 7, 2016, at Pizza Ranch, Fargo.
Save the date for an evening of fun and fellowship with the members of the Red River Amateur Radio club and their families.
“All too often, victims of active shooter or mass-casualty incidents bleed to death waiting for medical treatment. … Most of these shooting events are over in 15 minutes and people can bleed to death within five minutes from these severe injuries.”[1]
Unfortunately it can take more than five minutes for professional first responders to arrive at an incident scene; this is where Immediate Responders, “civilian bystanders … who perform external bleeding control for victims at the point of wounding before the arrival of professional responders”[2], are critical for victim survival. As Amateur Radio Operators we are often present at incidents where Immediate Responders may be needed
An Amateur Radio-military interoperability exercise will take place October 31 and November 1. The event will begin at 1200 UTC on October 31 and continue through 2359 UTC on November 1 on 60 meter channels 1-4—5.3305 MHz, 5.3465 MHz, 5.357 MHz, and 5.3715 MHz, respectively.
During this exercise, military stations will attempt to make radio contact with stations in as many of the 3007 US counties as possible. Radio amateurs providing “county status” information will receive a US Department of Defense “interoperability QSL card.”
Contact the Military Auxiliary Radio Service (MARS) for more information.
