Vigorous Warrior ‘19 is the largest dedicated medical exercise in the history of the Alliance, co-organized by the NATO Centre of Excellence for Military Medicine, the Romanian Armed Forces General Staff and the Romanian Ministry of National Defence Medical Directorate.
It is a NATO Joint Multi-level and Multinational Medical Exercise, as it encompasses the simulation of actions with 38 (and 2 pending) participating NATO and Partner Nations and includes various air, land and naval components and furthermore, multiple echelons of the deployed units’ command structure. Furthermore, a considerable civilian component will also participate in the exercise, with 10 different organizations coordinated by DSU - The Department for Emergency Situations from the MInistry of Internal Affairs.
VW’19 is listed in the NATO Training and Exercise Program and the Combined Joint Enhanced Training Initiative as well.
RVSU - (The Romanian Radioamateur's Emcomm Network) will be present in the Cincu military training base at this exercise for the first time, deploying a complex radio-communication network (from 7 MHz to 5 GHz) in radioamateur bands as an alternative to institutional communications.

In HF bands we will operate the special call YP19VW to test the propagation conditions for data and voice comms.
The call will be active between April 3rd and April 12th and we kindly ask the radioamateur community to announce us on the DX Cluster when hear us; we will not have internet connection there.
The station will be installed at an "Internal Displaced People" Camp and will be active in SSB, WINLINK and other digital modes.
A special QSL will be available for the stations in our log.
Further informations will be issued on this page.
We hope we will meet on the air.
**********************************************************
Dupa cum deja poate ati citit, in perioada urmatoare echipa RVSU (Radioamatori Voluntari in Situatii de Urgenta) deplasata in Centrul Naţional de Instruire Întrunită "Getica" (Poligonul Cincu) va opera in HF sub indicativul YP19VW cu ocazia exercitiului NATO "Vigorous Warrior 2019".
Nu exista un orar specific intrucat activitatile primare vor fi cele de asistenta din punct de vedere al radiocomunicatiilor pentru organizatiile civile care participa la VW 2019 insa vom cauta sa fim cat mai mult in eter pentru a da posibilitatea cat mai multor radioamatori sa "ponteze" in logul statiei RVSU si sa beneficieze astfel de QSL-card-ul aferent.
Totodata, in masura in care vom reusi stabilirea unei legaturi internet in aria de exercitiu, traficul DMR pe canalul principal va fi rutat in reteaua DMR+ pe TG112, bidirectional.
In Bucuresti, traficul radio va fi rutat pe RVSU 1 (TS1, TG1) pe repetoarele YO3D si YO3E.
Adresez o rugaminte celor care vor monitoriza frecventa respectiva, de a efectua apel catre statiile RVSU in momentele in care acestea nu sunt implicate in exercitiu, dand prioritate traficului radio efectuat in cadrul exercitiului.
Multumesc si sper sa ne auzim in banda.
