ARES Team Supports Pembroke Rowing Championships with Advanced Communication Coordination

The recent Pembroke Rowing Championships showcased not only athletic prowess but also the crucial support provided by the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES). Ken Geddes took the lead in coordinating video transmissions along the river, ensuring the event could be effectively monitored by emergency services.

Using advanced 5 GHz transmission technology, Ken and his team set up multiple video sites to capture rowing action in real time. These live feeds were transmitted directly to the main control van of the State of New Hampshire's emergency services, providing essential oversight and support during the event.

The collaboration between ARES and local emergency management highlighted the importance of effective communication during large gatherings. By ensuring that vital information was relayed quickly and accurately, ARES played an integral role in enhancing safety for both participants and spectators alike.

This successful operation at the Pembroke Rowing Championships serves as a testament to the dedication of the ARES team and their commitment to community safety, demonstrating how advanced technology can significantly bolster emergency response capabilities during public events.
