QO-100 Emergency Exercise 29 Oct 2022
Hamnet Western Cape operated station ZS1DZ from Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town to test emergency radio communications via the QO-100 satellite to Europe. The test involved no Internet or grid power. It was an outstanding success with 100% clear signals and audio.
