Seven Points to get started with an Intruder Watch
1. The most important aspect is to have good contacts with your National Telecommunications Authorities. Please try to contact their officers personally and find a person who you can contact when you have a complaint of Interference. It would be the best thing if this is always the same person.
2. To not lead the „Battle“ alone, try to find companions to help you.
3. Each contributor can help you: Maybe he is very good at CW, maybe he speaks foreign languages, maybe he has special equipment to monitor digital modes, maybe he can be active during night time bcos he needs little sleep.
4. Tell the members of your society that you are the „new Coordinator“ of their Monitoring System. This can be in your national amateur radio pamphlet or news by bulletins on SW or VHF or UHF. Write reports about the success of your Intruder Watch in your National amateur radio pamphlet.
5. Create a Homepage for your intruder watch with „Latest News“! Refer to the homepage of IARU MONITORING SYSTEM in Region 1 www.iarums-r1.org with a wealth of informations!
6. Tell your future contributors and / or members what you need to file a report about an intruder: Frequeny (in kHz), Time (UTC), Day of the Month, Mode, Country if you know, Ident, Remarks (calls if known, language, locations, names, sked times...)
7. Tell the members of your club how to reach you, either by direct letter, by phone or email. Do always confirm a report, even if it is complete rubbish! Do not invent the Wheel for the Second Time: Just contact: Riri OD5RI
