Field Emcomm Station Meet 2025
September 27 @ 7:00 am – 3:00 pm
Amateur Radio operators and organizations from the greater DC/Baltimore
region and beyond are invited to exhibit their portable emcomm stations
at an educational event to demonstrate different approaches to providing
emergency communications following a disaster or major incident.
Participants are also invited to show how they have configured their
personal sustainment kits. Amateur Radio operators and members of the
public at large who are interested in emergency and disaster
communications are invited to attend and gather ideas for constructing
their own portable emcomm stations and sustainment kits (commonly
referred to as go-kits).
The event will be held on Saturday, September 27 (rain date: October 11)
on the grounds of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics
Laboratory in Laurel, MD, in cooperation with the JHU/APL Amateur Radio
Club. There is ample space for exhibitors to set up their stations,
including full-size HF antennas. The site has plenty of parking for
attendees, and we will have access to rest rooms in an adjacent
building.
