Amateur radio operators helping with emergency communication all over the Island are now better equipped to do so -- and will soon also have additional infrastructure in place to also make the best use of it. Shaun Koopman, protective services coordinator for the Strathcona Regional District, says the installation of a "digital node" up on Mount Washington will add a huge amount of capacity and integration within the communications system should there be an emergency in our region.
