CQ WW 2006 CW as SET
One week before the CQ WW Contest, on November 18, 2006, I saw an announcement about emergency communications exercise arranged by the IARU Region I. This event, called by the organizers as the 'First EmCom party on the Air' was, according to the announcement, restricted for HQ-stations and special emergency groups. Good to see that the European Amateur Radio organizations try to simulate distress radio activities. In general, European ham radio operators are not welcome to assist the authorities. "
