In September 2021, Essex Ham will again be supporting International Air Ambulance Week. Well be at Earls Colne Airfield, the home of the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance on Saturday the 11th of September, operating with
the callsign GB4EAA.
IAAW is a nine-day amateur radio event to support the work done by Air Ambulance services around the world, and were proud to be supporting the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance for this years event. The following video
(from a previous year) summarises the event:
Supporting the event
We hope that as many of you as possible will be able to make contact
with GB4EAA. We aim to be on-air from 10.30am until hopefully 5pm on HF
and 2m frequencies will be announced on Twitter. If youre collecting
the IAAW award, our Air Ambulance Station Number is A012.
Everyones welcome to attend and hopefully to do some operating. Come along to help support the event, and spend some time with the team at
Anglian Flight Centres, a busy flying school.
Attending / Visiting GB4EAAÂ What you need to know.
We have a limited space from which to operate. For this event, you will
not be able to bring along your own radio kit and set up your own
station unless it has been pre-arranged with Pete M0PSXÂ this is due to restrictions at the location. (If you want to operate and use your own
radio for Covid-reasons, this can be arranged)
We are guests of the Anglian Flight Centres, an active airfield. We must
obey their rules at all times, including Covid restrictions. Visitors to GB4EAA should report the Essex Ham station to be briefed. Access to the apron, aircraft and air ambulance hanger is restricted for obvious reasons
In previous years, weve been lucky to see several aircraft launches as
well as operate HF and VHF stations. As this is an active airfield and
the Air Ambulance is on-call, there are no guarantees.
Theres free parking at the airfield, and on Saturday, were very close to
a burger van for excellent breakfast and lunch. The flight school has
basic tea-making facilities in return for a small donation, and they
kindly allow us to use their loos.
Essex Air Ambulance is a registered charity. Essex Ham asks that all
visitors to GB4EAA make a donation to the Essex Air Ambulance. A
collecting tin will be available during the event. Please show your
support and make a donation. Please bring some cash!
Please keep an eye on Essex Hams Twitter feed for updates on the event. Location:

Earls Colne Business Pk Airfield
Lancaster Way
Earls Colne
Colchester CO6 2NS
If you cant make the event please try to work us on-air (updates on frequencies via Twitter), and of course make a donation (see below).
Donate to the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance
It costs thousands of pounds a month to keep the Essex & Herts Air
Ambulances flying, and your support is needed.
Please show your support for the excellent work that the Air Ambulance
does. Collecting tins are situated around the county. You can also
donate online, by post, or on the phone See ehaat.org

Are you looking for volunteers to break a limb so they can be rescued ? >include me out LOL
I am surprised because compared to Northern UK areas the Essex & >Hertfordshire income demographic is way higher yet you are having to
beg and collect for an air ambulance ?
Can flight crews social distance from a patient in a helicopter please ?
