The National Co-ordinator would like to remind EI amateurs of the Emergency Centre of Activity Frequencies adopted by the IARU Region 1 General Conference 2005. (NB: pdf document)
These are not channels for exclusive Emergency only use, but are preferred, centre frequencies, for such activities.
The centre frequencies are as follows…..
| Global 1 Centre of Activity per band: | |
| 15m | 21,360 kHz |
| 17m | 18,160 kHz |
| 20m | 14,300 kHz |
| Region 1 Centre of Activity per band: | |
| 40m | 7,060 kHz |
| 80m | 3,760 kHz |
Should you hear emergency traffic in or around these frequencies, you are advised not to transmit unless taking active part in the Emergency traffic net.
