Red Cross Team News

The Red Cross station has amateur equipment for voice and digital on HF, VHF, and UHF, plus commercial voice equipment for HF, MF (47MHz), and UHF (463MHz). The Portland headquarters is responsible for all Oregon counties (except for Malheur county) and six counties in Ssouthwest Washington. We could get called upon to provide communication for disasters in any of those counties. The team is responsible for communication between headquarters and the various mobile feeding trucks and any shelters using amateur or commercial radios as appropriate.
