Summary of Operations

HF Pactor stations use USB - Upper Side Band

Currently, there is no single sponsor or provincial group coordinating the efforts of RMS EMComm stations in Ontario. Most stations shown below are operating as individual stations - non-affiliated with RAC, ARES or the like, BUT are working with ad hoc or written agreements with their local municipal, county or regional CEMC. The majority of stations work together to cover a particular area where the CEMC and other officials have come to understand the value of having Ham Radio WL2K RMS operations set up in their respective jurisdictions.

The clear understanding for all of these operations is that they are on an "WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS", basis and are in support of existing systems and networks owned and installed by the client service.

These stations are frequently operational 24/7 on HF and VHF frequencies as indicated in the following tables.

All EMComm Pactor user stations have an unlimited daily access time limit during an approved exercise or actual emergency situation. Consider others needs may have a higher priority and keep connections limited to required and authorized messages.

Review the RMS station sign on banner at the time of connection for any special notices.
