to operate anywhere under any
conditions. independently Of pub
lie or private power lines or other
established communication sys-
TENS.
Many a time in many parts Of
the u. S, the amateurs have
shown their efficiency in handling
emergency communication traffic
in areas blighted by flood. earth
quake. fire. hurricane or other
disaster. Combined skill Of thou
sands OF A. r. r. L. members Is
eonverged TO provide equipment
and operating staffs for these an

lated members are graded on the
effectiveness of their equipment
in maintaining CO m m u nication
with distant points.
Near Lake Cushman
The Tacoma club chooses a DIFF
ferent location each year for its
emergency station tests. This
year it will be the vicinity OF Ia
comas big hydro-electric power
plants at Lake Cushman.
The test will demonstrate what
the hams" could do to insure
communications should anything
happen to the eity's facilities. II
isn't considered as even remote
possibility that any condition
would arise that would require
their help, but the amateurs need
the workout. it's game and

pared.
