    Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Event Sept 2021

    Posted: 10 Sep 2021 12:57 PM PDT https://feedpress.me/link/22841/14743830/essex-herts-air-ambulance-event-sept-2021.html



    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 GB4EAA  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 M0PSX  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!

    does. Collecting tins are situated around the county. You can also

    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 ?

    I imagine they might use a similar procedure to this.
