Civil defense exercises 2022

On October 16, 2022, tests of the civil defense radio systems of the province of Varese were held. Once again many of us contributed to the successful outcome of the exercises by going out to activate stations in various municipalities around the province. With the occasion, some novice radio amateurs (fresh from a course taught by our valiant Claudio IK2YWN) were introduced to this magical world of emergency communications. The usual gargantuan morning breakfast before rehearsals could not be missed…see you next time!

Radio assistance to the “Great Fund”

On October 2, 2022, we provided radio assistance among ARI Varese volunteers for the safety of the “Gran Fondo – Tre Valli Varesine” bicycle race, one of the most prestigious bicycle races. Armed with batteries, antennas and battle radios, we had a good day among crashed cyclists and homemade buns. See you next time!

Radio assistance to the “Run with Samia- Lake Comabbio Run” race.

On June 5, 2022, some of us lent assistance to the “Run with Samia- Lake Comabbio Run” by setting up one of the radio stations along the race route. It was a useful experience to test our mobile equipment and to seriously consider the next purchase of an easy-to-assemble gazebo 🙂

Visit to the Montichiari amateur radio fair

On May 15, we organized a “school field trip” to the Montichiari Electronics and Amateur Radio Fair. In addition to the predictable hoarding of spare parts and numerous episodes of compulsive shopping for various devilry, it all culminated in a delicious lunch at a local trattoria, washed down with some excellent wine. In short, a good day. We will definitely reorganize forMarch 11-12, 2023.

11/28/2021 – Civil Protection exercises

Many of us are going to participate in the annual test of the VHF / ARI emergency radio communications network of the Varese province. This is organized by the Varese Prefecture and the Italian Amateur Radio Association.

Basically we “man” the radio stations fitted in the town halls of the province, to carry out a functionality test, using both voice and digital transmission techniques.

Stay tuned … in every sense! 🙂
