Zendamateurs verzamelen radioapparatuur voor Azië
Nederlandse radioamateurs zijn begonnen met het inzamelen van oude radioapparatuur voor de rampgebieden in Azië. De apparatuur kan volgens de radioamateurs een cruciale rol spelen in de noodcommunicatie. Dat meldde de stichting Dutch amateur radio emergency service (Dares) vrijdag.
From a private communication:
"Seems that Dutch fire brigades are collecting their old communication stuff as well. Since [Dutch] Fire brigades, Police and Ambulances turned to a new digital communication system, the old one can be re-used."
