Organised by the IARU Region 1 this exercise aims:
 increase the common interest in emergency communications
test how usable the Centre-of-Activity frequencies are across ITU regions
create practices for international emergency communication and the relay of messages using all modes.
Participating stations using Phone, Data or CW will be heard calling 'CQ GLOBALSET’ or initiating and relaying messages. Where their local regulations permit they may also add the recommended /D to their callsigns to identify as a distress or disaster station. The amateur radio community is asked to be aware of this important training exercise on the 8 November and to please keep the Emergency Centre-of-Activity frequencies clear.
