IC needs a ham shadowing a shelter, miles out, no cell. From any TAK client she DMs his callsign — digiTAK puts it on RF, it lands on his radio, his reply hits TAK chat. A guy with just an HT. #EmComm #APRS

EmComm exercise this weekend #ObsidianWave groups.io/g/obsidian-w... looks like a neat test of transcon connectivity. There's a lot of manual duplications of what packet does in digital radio these days, but learning how humans pass traffic is a good step to learning how computers do. #hamradio

ORARI activeert opnieuw noodcommunicatie in Indonesië
De Indonesische radioamateurvereniging ORARI (Organisasi Amatir Radio Indonesia) heeft opnieuw een beroep gedaan op radioamateurs om verschillende frequenties vrij te houden voor noodcommunicatie. De nieuwe EMCOMM-activiteiten lopen van 11 tot en met 24 september 2026. Indonesië werd halverwege augustus getroffen door een zware aardbeving in de regio Oost-Nusa Tenggara (NTT). De beving had een magnitude van 7,7 en veroorzaakte onder meer schade aan gebouwen en verstoring van de reguliere communicatie-infrastructuur.
