Have Fun Too...
There are the weekly nets
to check into on HF, VHF & UHF and you can
also operate as a net control person.
We have S.E.T.s
(Simulated Emergency Training) where we work
within our group, the county and/or the state
reacting to a training disaster designed to
hone our skills. We also support community
events such as bike rides, walk-a-thons, road
rallies, parades, etc. These everyday events
enable us to improve our skills. We are very
much welcomed by the groups putting these
events together. In some cases the event would
not be able to take place without radio
support.
We have amateur radio
swap meets, transmitter hunts and also garage
sales to help build our funds that will then
enable us to purchase equipment for the group;
however we cannot be paid directly for any of
our services. There is no cost to be a part of
ARES other than the equipment you choose to
purchase for your own personal use.
*******************************
We hope you will consider
joining your local ARES group. You are welcome
to sit in on a meeting or two or listen in on
the nets and possibly a S.E.T. to see if you
have an interest.
Your reward will be
knowing you are supporting your community.
