📻 NEMRA Simulated Emergency Test (SET)
Thursday, September 17, 2026 • 8:00 PM
Following our regular local Emergency Weather Practice Net, NEMRA will conduct a Simulated Emergency Test (SET) on the national VHF simplex frequency of 146.520 MHz.
This exercise is designed to simulate emergency communications using VHF radios without the assistance of a local repeater. Our goal is to evaluate our effective simplex coverage and determine how well stations throughout the area can communicate when normal infrastructure may not be available due to circumstances such as power loss, internet outages, repeater failure, or other emergencies.
📡 We Need Your Participation
Everyone in the area is encouraged to participate if you are available.
Please:
• Listen for the SET on 146.520 MHz
• Attempt to make contact with Net Control
• If you cannot reach Net Control directly, try using another station as a relay
• Once contact is established, please check in and get you callsign on the book
Your participation will help us build a better understanding of our local VHF simplex coverage and identify areas where communication may be limited.
This is not intended to become a weekly or monthly net. This is a special exercise intended to give us a practical snapshot of our communication capabilities without a repeater and under adverse conditions.
So, if you are local and available Thursday evening, please listen, participate, and make a contact if you are able. Every station that checks in provides valuable information for the exercise.
Thank you for supporting NEMRA and helping strengthen our local emergency communications capabilities.
73,
NEMRA
