Polish EmCom use the new technologies in exercises

Friedrichschafen 21-st of June 2019.

WinLink in polish SP EmCom practice.

WinLink become a very popular, realiable and cost effective radio field e-mail messages

exchange system, between emergency communication team and government or administration

offices.

In Poland we have since 2018 stable working own Winmore WinLink node SR5WLK working

nearby Warsaw capital city of Poland (Mazovian Voivodeship – central part of Poland) on

frequency: 3,5955 [MHz] on 80 meters band. Another freqiencies are prohibited, but not used

yet: 5,3545 [MHz], 7,0465 [MHz], 10,1445 [MHz].

SP EmCom have in plan during this year installation and startup two another nodes: SR2WLK in

Inowrocław city (Cuiavian Voivodeship - northern part of Poland) on frequency 7,0465 [MHz]

and SR9WLK in Cracow (Lesser Poland Voivodeship – southern part of Poland) on frequency

5,3545 [MHz].

Nodes SR2WLK, SR5WLK and SR9WLK will be working as one network convertibly on

indicated upper frequencies in terms of internal needs. Coverage bands 80, 60, 40 and

eventually in particular cases 30 meters - gives the possibility of securely and reliable contact via

WinLink in several bands, radio propagation conditions, moment of day etc.

Maybe since 2019/2020 we will start with PACTOR communication mode.

RAIN 2018 commonSP – DL – PA EmCom exercises

8-th of December 2018.

net control station by SP side:

• main net control: SP5MASR by Mazovian Emercency Communication Network

(operators Maciek SQ5EBM, Adrian SQ5AM, and Wit SP5WIT),

• backup net control: SP0MASR by Lesser Poland Emergency Communication Network

(operators Michał SP9XWM and Tomek SP9SCZ).

net control station by DL side: DL0NFD,

net control station by PA side: PI9D.

Time: 13:00 – 14:30 local time.

Main scope of activities: checking the phone SSB communication on 40 and 80 meters band

and sending the chekpoint e-mails via WinLink system between net control station from

SP, DL and PA. Both part of tests are completed and finished succesfully in spite of CQWW

CW contest (noisy and locked frequencies by contestmen colleagues – additional training

elements where we know what is to do ).

Lesser Poland VoivodeshipDMR trainings

2-nd of March 2019

The map of locations DMR 70 [cm] band reapeters in Silesian, Lesser Poland and

Podkarpackie Voivodeship (southern part of Poland).

Lesser Poland VoivodeshipDMR trainings

2-nd of March 2019

Author: Lesser Poland Emergency Communication Network

The main scope of training:

checking the properly DMR communication between five seperate

industry location under hypothetical fire hazard and main control

station located in Cracow city and backup field station located

nearby Nowy Sącz city.

Utilised only DMR brandmeister 70 [cm] band reapeters located in

Lesser Poland Voivodeship. Communication with usage special

dedicated group TG260015 on TS2.

Lesser Poland VoivodeshipDMR trainings

2-nd of March 2019

Conclusion:

1) Dynamically linked TG260015 on TS2 in not good in terms of higher priority groups

existed on several repaeters (temporarily lack of communication when TS2 is

locked by other corresponded people).

2) Proposed static linked TG260015 on TS2 on reapeters,

3) Instead of proposal in point 2 – proposed DMR reflector dedicated for SP EmCom,

because everyone have programmed in SP group 9 (lack collisions with other TS2

groups).

4) in special conditions usage of TS1 and TG9 in emergency cases.

ANIKAR trainings 5 and 6-th of April 2019.

Communication Network.

The main scope of activities – 80 meters

short wave part:

1) phone SSB communication

between main field net control

station near by Częstochowa (white

star) and local net control stations

(blue points) and between Warsaw

locationa and regional individual

station around the Warsaw (red

question mark stations).

2) receiveing the picture by SSTV on

short wave 80 meteres frq and

sending back received picture via

WinLink system to station located in

Warsaw.

The main scope of activities – VHF 2 [m]

part

1) creating the FM radio bridge

between Silesian Voivodeship and

Mazovian Voivodeship.

2) sending on 144,300 [MHz] SSB

frequency Olivia system information

Es’Hailsat 2 / QO-100 - satellite communication

in practice SP EmCom PZK

Colleagues from Mazovian Emergency Communication Network have started

the experiments with building field goboxes for receiving only and completely

receiving and transmitting with usage Es’Hailsat 2 amateur satellite

transponders.

Es’Hailsat is geostationery amateur communication satellite with available two

transponders:

1) narrowband analogue linear transponder: 2400,050 [MHz] – 2400,300

[MHz] uplink and 10489,550 [MHz] – 10489,800 [MHz] downlink

with 250 [kHz] bandwidth.

2) wideband digital transponder: 2401,500 [MHz] – 2409,500 [MHz] uplink and

10491,0 [MHz] – 10499,0 [MHz] downlink with 8 [MHz] bandwidth (for

example for amateur DVB transmission tests).
