Amateur radio operators pride themselves on the ability to
get the message through, "when all else fails" during a disaster.
Amateur Radio Emergency Communications (or EmComm) plays an important
role in helping disaster relief organizations communicate when land
lines, cell phones, and other traditional modes of communication become
overloaded or fail.
EmComm East is an ARRL-sanctioned amateur radio
emergency communications conference, where amateur radio operators
involved in EmComm can attend training sessions on technical topics,
purchase equipment and supplies from vendors, learn from served
agencies, obtain VE testing for license upgrades, and interact with
other EmComm operators from all over the area.
EmComm East will be held on September 20, 2008, in Rochester, New York. Sign up
