Incident Report Description

The International Radio Emergency Support Coalition (IRESC) is an organization comprised of 500+ volunteer amateur radio operators in roughly 50 countries on 6 continents (including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Oman, Israel and Turkey). We have operators standing by round the clock to assist in transmitting emergency information to and from Pakistan.

Using a combination of radios (HF, UHF and VHF), VoIP software (Echolink, Skype and other instant messaging systems), E-mail and traditional telephone technology (landlines and cell phones), we are able to link amateur radio operators on the ground in Pakistan with their counterparts worldwide.

For more information on IRESC, please see the following web site: http://www.iresc.org .

AP2ZAF & AP2SAH are blacklisted by Pakistani Hams due to their severe disciplinary attitudes towards the amateur community. They are frauds and being warned on many occasions . kindly contact PARS Management at : www.pakhams.com

True Ham (Dec 21 2010)

Relief Activities has been carried out regularly by Asad Ullah Marwat (AP2AUM) & Khalid Shoaib (AP2MKS). PAK HAMs are really proud of them. That’s true ,There is no role or any contribution by Syed Asim Hussain ( AP2SAH ) & Zaheer Ahmad ( AP2ZAF ) in flood relief activities. No Free Lunch in this Hobby !!!
