The time of each exercise changes to allow more stations to participate from around the world as well as recognising that emergencies can happen at any time.

    This is an exercise between stations interested in emergency communications and is not a contest. Activity will be concentrated around the IARU Emergency Centre of Activity frequencies which are now incorporated in bandplans around the world. The details of the exercise are being finalised and published here   and   HERE.
