Zendamateurs verzamelen radioapparatuur voor Azië Nederlandse
radioamateurs zijn begonnen met het inzamelen van oude
radioapparatuur voor de rampgebieden in Azië. De apparatuur kan
volgens de radioamateurs een cruciale rol spelen in de
noodcommunicatie. Dat meldde de stichting Dutch amateur radio
emergency service (Dares) vrijdag.

>From a private communication:

"Seems that Dutch fire brigades are collecting their old
communication stuff as well. Since [Dutch] Fire brigades, Police and
Ambulances turned to a new digital communication system, the old one
can be re-used."
