LISTENING TO FEEDS OF DISASTER COMMUNICATIONS

IRESC sometimes takes 'listen-only' feeds of disaster communications, either directly via Echolink or even directly via HF/VHF/UHF radio gateways or online receivers.  Therefore it is worth checking on the *IRESC* Echolink conference (node 278173) if you are interested in monitoring live emergency communications. 

Upon connection, you may find that your station has been 'muted' to prevent interference to the emergency communications - we ask that you accept this restriction.  If you have traffic to contribute under these conditions, please make this known to the IRESC Net Control Station by typing a suitable message into the Echolink text box.

WEB STREAMING OF IRESC AUDIO

From time to time, IRESC may set up a web stream carrying audio from the IRESC Echolink conference server.  This may be at the request of a legitimate group or agency, or for press and information purposes.

The web stream is not provided on a continuous basis, but is activated as required.  At these times, a link to the stream will appear on this page.

THE WEB STREAM IS CURRENTLY: OFF

At all times, the establishment of this feed is at the discretion of IRESC.  For example, if communications traffic is of a sensitive or secure nature, the audio may be disabled.

IRESC encourages interested parties to monitor our activity via this stream.  This prevents inadvertent interference to emergency traffic, reduces confusion for the NCS and lightens the bandwidth demands on the IRESC Echolink conference server itself.
