About the IEEE MOVE Radio Club

The IEEE MOVE Amateur Radio Club was formed in March 2021 to support the radio enthusiasts of the IEEE MOVE Project. The club call sign is W4MOV.  Regular membership is open to IEEE members who are licensed amateur radio operators. Associate membership is open to anyone with an interest.  Meetings are online on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 8 PM Eastern time. Connection details are inside the MOVE Radio Club Workspace on Collabratec and meeting details are on vTools.

Vision

The IEEE MOVE Radio Club’s vision is to support radio communications during disasters, focusing on IEEE MOVE deployed teams. We will train our members and partner agencies on the latest technologies to provide disaster communications.

Mission

The IEEE MOVE Radio Club will support disaster communications with deployed MOVE teams and other agencies as appropriate. The club will determine a set of radio communication tools and procedures, educate and train members on using these tools and procedures, and utilize these tools and procedures during disasters to collect and relay critical information to and from the disaster area(s). The club will interface with other organizations as appropriate to provide the best possible solution and support.

Colophon

This site was originally built as a static website using the Jekyll generator with the Libris documentation theme from StackBit. You can find out more info at jekyllrb.com and https://www.stackbit.com. In March 2023, it was ported to IEEE’s cmte.ieee.org WordPress site with a set of common top-level menu items across MOVE Operations.  In August 2023, it was moved to be a subsite of the move.ieee.org structure.
