Important Notification: Severe Weather + Disasters + Emergency Communications - Reboot Amateur Radio Group

Important Notification to radio amateurs:  The Mossel Bay AREDN Mesh Network will be switched on when necessary and will be available should power and normal communication failures occur as a result of predicted severe weather or any disaster which might occur in the Southern Cape. The network will be usable in the Southern Cape Area and will be linked to the Internet, Twitter and AllStar and Echolink Radio Network.  In the event of a power / Internet failure the Mossel Bay Mesh- and Reboot AllStar Network will still be running and available for emergencies. UHF Freq to monitor: 433.400 Mhz FM.

The AllStar and Echolink Network will display the following notification:  Severe WX, Mossel Bay or Disaster, Mossel Bay that relates to the emergency.  I asked that radio amateurs listen and do not call or TX on ZS1I-L unless you have an emergency or traffic.  However radio amateurs are more then welcome to listen on ZS1I-L to activity.

When Reboot AR, Mossel Bay is displayed all radio amateurs are most welcome to use the networks and systems for normal amateur radio communications.

Please note that the Mossel Bay AREDN Mesh Network and Reboot AllStar/Echolink Network will be available to emergency communicators should they wish to use the system.  The Mossel Bay AREDN Mesh Network and Reboot AllStar/Echolink Network are not affiliated or involved in any emergency communication organization.   It is now the time for the younger amateur radio generation to get involved in emergency communications and render a service to their local communities if they so wish.

For all future emergency communications the local amateur radio club (ZS1SKR) or  HAMNET Western Cape can be contacted.  Here is the necessary contact details:
