Local hams prepare
for an emergency

AN EXERCISE in emergency
radio communications was receatly
conducted by members of ihe
North Shore Amateur Radio Club.
One purpose of the club is to pro-
vide such radio communications to
any organization that may require
it.

In the event of an earthquake cr
other disaster, it is vitel that reli-
able channels of radio communica-
tion be available to transmit im-
portant messages between com-
mand and evacuation centres in
North and West Vancouver.

On a recent Sunday morning, a
dozen members of the club sta-
tioned themselves at each of the
designated emergency evacuation
centres in West Yancouver. At an
appointed time, a series of
messages were transmitted between
each of the stations and the quality
of the transmission was recorded.

Radio operators at most of the
10 sites encountered no difficulty

in either receiving or transmitting
messages, At a few locations it was
necessary to use radio repeaters
‘which amplify anc re-transmit the
signals,

With the completion of this ex-
ercise, all commend sad emergen-
cy evacuation centres in North and
West Vancouver have been check-
ed for quality of radio signals.

In the future, the clud is pian-
ning more detailed assessment of
the evacuation centres which will
include test transmissions from
proposed operating locations
within the buildings.

The North Shore Amateur
Radio Club meets at 7:30 p.m. on
the first and third Thursdays of
every month at the Pacific Marine
Training Institute on Esplanade
Ave. in North Vancouver. All am-
ateur radio operators, short wave
listeners (SWL’s) and anyone else
interested in the hobby are en-
couraged to come to the meetings.
