Use of 3760 in Poland - Back to Normal
By: System Administrator on: Thu 02 of Jul, 2009 [23:05 UTC] (7 reads)

There is still a risk of flooding in the South West of Poland but currently the Public Communications systems are operating normally so it is appropriate to return 3760 to normal use with the normal procedures of;

- Listen before transmitting
- If you hear any station passing emergency traffic then leave the frequency clear and avoid causing QRM. Polish stations make use of the /D suffix to indicate emergency working and this should help in case of any language difficulties.

Thanks to all stations for their assistance and support.
