IMPORTANT - ("SET") - DRILL SATURDAY MORNING 10-31-26

The time is here (10-31-2026) for our 2026 Alabama Simulated Emergency Test or "SET".  This was again discussed in detail at our 10-29-2026 meeting. The EAARC supports this important initiative. The SET starts at 8:00 A.M. central time sharp Saturday morning 10-31-2026 and continues until 12:00 Noon.


Information describing the 2026 Simulated Emergency Test or "SET" is available as noted below.  


The event information is available to all amateur radio operators. 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.
