Open Source Classes for Amateur Radio, also known as OSCAR India, has been working with the Nagaland State Disaster Management Authority to sharpen responders' communication skills. In the most recent session, held in late April, participants celebrated a first for responders in the region in northeast India - they successfully used radio signals for image transmission, using the callsign AT2NE. District project associates who work for the disaster management authority were able to see the benefit of this image-transmission mode. They also received training in antenna-building and Morse Code.
OSCAR India's convenor, Nilkantha Chatterjee, VU2OII [Vee You Two Oh Eye Eye], told local media "This demonstration proves radio's vital role when modern networks fail. While we have conducted similar transmissions elsewhere, bringing this capability to Northeast India's unique landscape is particularly rewarding."
