What is A.R.E.S.?
---

The Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) consists of licensed amateurs who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment for communications duty in the public service when disaster strikes. Every licensed amateur, regardless of membership in ARRL or any other local or national organization, is eligible for membership in the ARES. The only qualification, other than possession of an Amateur Radio license, is a sincere desire to serve. Because ARES is an amateur service, only amateurs are eligible for membership. The possession of emergency-powered equipment is desirable, but is not a requirement for membership.

ARES members train in preparation for many types of emergencies. For more in-depth information on ARES, visit the ARRL Website. If you belong to an emergency services organization and would like to coordinate services with us, please contact Mike (KE7F) Barlow -or- Lori (KF6VFI) Bennett-Tetrick for further information.

An ARES net is scheduled for Tuesday nights at 7:15 p.m. on 146.88 (2 meter). All amateur operators are encouraged to check in. Contact Lori (KF6VFI) for more details.

Local Red Cross officials thanked the Del Norte Amateur Radio Club (by group and by individual's names) in the Daily Triplicate newspaper.
