ARLX001 FEMA Region 10 Communication Exercises Will Make Use of 60 Meters
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region 10 (Alaska, Idaho, Oregon,
and Washington) will conduct a Communications Exercise (COMMEX) on January 17
and on the third Wednesday of subsequent
months during 2018, 1500-2100 UTC. These exercises will use the 60-meter
channels and will test and exercise interoperable communication
(federal/state/local/tribal/Amateur Radio) for use during a major disaster in
which the conventional telecommunication infrastructure has been significantly
damaged or destroyed.
FEMA Region 10 will use the call sign WGY910. Other stations that may take part
include, but are not limited to, other FEMA stations, DHS, USCG, SHARES, DoD,
and National Weather Service. Stations (both federal and amateur) associated
with agencies and organizations that provide response support in accordance
with the National Response Framework are encouraged to participate.
The COMMEX will use all five 60-meter dial frequencies: 5,330.5 kHz; 5,346.5
kHz; 5,357.0 kHz; 5,371.5 kHz, and 5,403.5 kHz as part of the exercise.
