Via Southgate: Power shortage situation and radio amateurs

Switzerland’s USKA aim to make amateur radio stations available to support the civilian population in power shortages and blackouts

A translation of the USKA post reads:

At its meeting on September 12, the Board of Directors of the USKA decided:

“The USKA is promptly developing an operational concept for radio amateurs and supplementary groups who make their radios available to support the civilian population in power shortages and blackouts, especially for emergency calls. In addition, the Executive Board organizes the Board’s internal communication of emergencies. ”

If you would like to actively participate in the concept, you can participate in the USKA HamGroup «Sparks in emergencies»register (form) – Prerequisite is USKA membership.
