A nationwide simultaneous earthquake drill in the Philippines held on June
22 saw many agencies involved including ham operators. The Philippines
Amateur Radio Society (PARA) now has reports from Ham Emergency Radio
Operation groups that showed they used their capabilities and skills to
provide emergency communications. PARA spokesman Jojo Vicencio DU1VHY
reports this is the second drill of its type and lessons learned last time
were put into action. Each club set up field stations with VHF, UHF and or
HF capabilities. The field stations were on high ground to advantage as
would be the case in a real emergency.
