ARI Firenze at Sesto Fiorentino Protezione Civile demonstration

ARI Firenze - ARES

Today in Sesto Fiorentino, a Florence’s surrounding municipality has been taken an Emergency Service demonstration organized by local administration.

ARI Firenze has been invited as representant of emergency service provider.

In front of our stand, there were local Police and Carabinieri exposition as well as a couple of Protezione Civile (ES) stands.

Our Ham colleagues setup the always present mobile home, a homebrewed project by I5KRD, where someone of us took demonstration of amateur radio operations. Equipment included a vertical antenna for 40 meters and an EH antenna for 80 meters.

I made a short visit to colleagues, and in the few minutes I was there, a couple of visitors asked informations on our activity and hobby. Who knows…

This has been certailnly a good opportunity to promote ham radio.
