ALABAMA SIMULATED EMERGENCY TEST ("SET") 2026 - INFO

Information describing the 2026 Simulated Emergency Test or "SET" is now on hand.  Thanks to Mike Watkins - WX4AL (SET Coordinator, AL Section Assistant Section EC) we are making this information available now to all amateur radio operators on our mailing list whether members of the Club or not. We need your help to make this the most successful instance of participation in the SET that has ever occurred by the amateurs of our area.  This is a high bar since this area has done quite well in the past.  We have some big shoes to step into.
