HQ-Stations from of all IARU member societies and
stations of Emergency Communications Groups participated
in this Global

QRM ).
The objectives of the test were;
1/ increase the common
interest in emergency communications.
2/ test how usable the CoA frequencies are across ITU regions.
3/ create practices
for international emergency communication and
4/ practice the relaying of messages using all modes.
FINALLY to the
