Attention Adventure Seekers!
IEMSA has joined the hunt and has activated their first geocache. Geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using GPS-enabled devices and then share their experiences online. See your April-June 2011 issue of The Voice for more information.

A Trackable will be added to the site today, Wednesday, May 18. A Trackable is a cache that moves from place to place, picking up stories along the way. Be the first to discover the trackable and send it on its way! The information inside the trackable will focus on the importance of early recognition of cardiac arrest. IEMSA hopes to spread this message throughout the upcoming year.

For those of you who plan to join the hunt, we are providing you with a very special hint: N 41° 33.633 W 093° 49.100.


FCC Narrowband Deadline APPROACHING
The FCC has mandated that all public safety and
governmental users who operate radio equipment in the 150-174 and 421-512 MHz frequency range must meet the new FCC Narrowband Requirements, effective 1/1/2013. This means that if you are presently operating radio equipment in the older wideband mode in these VHF and UHF bands, your equipment must be replaced or modified to operate in the narrowband mode by 12/31/2012. For more information, please read the detailed letter available here.
