There was then an Open Discussion on what use we could make of Satellites and other new modes for Emergency Communications. Discussing Low Earth Orbit as well as Geostationary satellites, HF conditions and weak signal message modes ( e.g. JS8call ).

Oliver DL7TNY provided an introduction to AREDN data networks which got many attendees to look at the networks in practice on the DARCstand in the main hall.
An Open Forum was then followed by a short exercise on how we may respond to a power grid failure.
