2009 List-ID: <rac-bulletins@xxxxxxx> From: rac-bulletins@xxxxxxx Reply-To: <rachq@xxxxxx> March 7, 2009 Global Simulated Emergency Test (GlobalSET) The date for this event, sponsored by IARU Region 1, has been altered to coincide with World Amateur Radio Day on April 18th. The theme for the day of "Amateur Radio: Your Resource in Disaster and Emergency Communication" is an ideal opportunity to showcase the work of emergency communications groups around the world. The timing of the event remains at 1100-1500 UTC but in a change for this and future events, the focus will be on generating and relaying messages in a common format across country borders rather than the information gathering about capabilities which has taken place in the past. More information will be posted on www.iaru-r1.org and www.raynet-hf.net as it becomes available.
