The Simulated Emergency Test (SET) will be in coordination with the American Red Cross throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It will involve multiple repeaters and Red Cross Emergency Stations as well as ARES teams in most counties of the Keystone State. For Pennsylvania amateur radio operators unfamiliar with ARES operations, this exercise will demonstrate some of the critical communication services they provide to served agencies. If you would like to volunteer for service with an ARES team in your county, we will provide contact information so you may contact a local ARES Emergency Coordinator following the exercise.
