ITU delegates see amateur radio e-comms demo
The IARU member-society for Turkey, Telsiz ve Radyo Amatörleri Cemiyeti (TRAC), organized a demonstration station and exhibit of Amateur Radio emergency communications capabilities for participants in the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference.
TRAC's well-equipped emergency communications van was brought to Antalya and parked on the hotel grounds adjacent to the conference site.
Operating under the special call sign TC4PP, the station made contacts worldwide with just 100 watts and a wire antenna. The ITU Secretary-General Elect and other newly elected officials visited the station, along with many delegates from all over the world.
IARU International Coordinator for Emergency Communications Hans Zimmermann, HB9AQS/F5VKP, reports that TC4PP was active in the IARU Region 1 Emergency Communications "Get-together Party on the Air" on November 18, contacting 18 of the participating Region 1 member-societies' headquarters stations.
This is the third time since 2000 that TRAC has been called upon to organize such a display station at a major ITU event held in Turkey.
Congratulations to TRAC on another job well done!
