" Once a quarter, the Vermont Emergency Hospital Net does a preparedness test; this one was on April 5, 2025. This video was taken in the University of Vermont Medical Center Hospital in Burlington VT. On this net, we only did voice on HF (80m), UHF linked repeater system and DMR. On other nets we pass messages on voice and digital. This hospital uses an Icom 7100 and an Anytone DMR transceiver. I know it seems boring, but when an emergency arises, all this practice makes things go better. " - Bob K1BIF![]()
