The Alpine Fault Net is a monthly disaster relief communications exercise using high-frequency (HF) radio equipment.
Coordinated by the HF Radio Charitable Trust, the Alpine Fault Net is conducted on both amateur and commercial HF radio frequencies.
Participants include public and private sector organisations and certified amateur radio operators.
Certified amateur radio operators located in New Zealand participating in our monthly Alpine Fault Net, or would like to do so in the futures are invited to complete the volunteer application form.
You do not need to be a member of any club or organisation and there is no membership fee.
Our land simplex HF frequencies are available for public and private organisations to exercise on a common frequency.
In the event of a natural disaster, changing to our Alpine Fault Net frequency allows organisations to communicate when business as usual (BAU) communications are down.
