BLACK SWAN Radio Training First Half 2022 (Radio KD8TTE Ep071)

BLACK SWAN COMEX is an annual event where we exercise communication in emergency and post-disaster conditions. Here we announce the dates for BLACK SWAN 22 and recap the training—scheduled, added, and unscheduled—that we've conducted so far this year to prepare.

If you are with or support an agency looking to play, evaluate, or observe, it's now time to register. Even if you're not ready to commit, register to be sure to get the latest information from us on the exercise.

ERRATUM
For Field Day, one of the 100 point bonuses I was expecting to claim didn't apply to class E stations. The result was that I submitted a score of 1410, not 1510.
