JHU APL EmComm Demonstration
Amateur Radio operators and organizations from the greater DC/Baltimore region and beyond are invited to exhibit their portable emcomm stations at an educational event to demonstrate different approaches to providing emergency communications following a disaster or major incident. Participants are also invited to show how they have configured their personal sustainment kits. Amateur Radio operators and members of the public at large who are interested in emergency and disaster communications are invited to attend and gather ideas for constructing their own portable emcomm stations and sustainment kits (commonly referred to as go-kits).
The event will be held on Saturday, September 27 (rain date: October 11) on the grounds of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, MD, in cooperation with the JHU/APL Amateur Radio Club. There is ample space for exhibitors to set up their stations, including full-size HF antennas. The site has plenty of parking for attendees, and we will have access to rest rooms in an adjacent building.
