Training

Amateur radio is also known as HAM radio. HAM radio is a dependable communications resource when the normal communications fail due to a disaster of some nature. HAM radios communicate direct from radio to radio and do not depend on a fragile grid system.

The purposes of the Southern Alberta Emergency Radio Guild (SAERG), are to:

1. Provide training, a common meeting ground, and appropriate resources for licensed Amateur Radio Operators, and those actively working to become licensed, who are interested in emergency preparedness, and more specifically emergency communication. To be in full support of the Emergency Response Communication (ERC) program, as well as to assist relief agencies who support the objectives of the club.

2. Provide communications during emergency conditions to the Emergency Response Communication (ERC) program, as well as to relief agencies, when authorized by such agency.

We are located in the Lethbridge, Alberta area and service all communities within a resonable distance.

Membership in SAERG is voluntary and is open to all interested individuals. We can be contacted by email at va6hal@gmail.com
