On Saturday, January 11th 2014, amateur stations from Alaska, the Yukon, BC,Alberta and several US states will be participating in a cross border simulated emergency test. There are over 80 stations involved.  They will be using frequencies on VHF,UHF and HF. Please relinquish a frequency if requested. The test will last only a few hours and is being done in order to ensure communications during a crisis.  These communications are for your benefit and the benefit of the general population.  Your cooperation is appreciated. To all those stations/units participating thank you for your time and efforts.
