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, 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 October 3, 2009, in Rochester, New York. Sign up for e-mail announcements or subscribe to our RSS feed, and we'll keep you informed of new developments in this exciting opportunity!
