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. Any United States citizen, who possesses a valid FCC Amateur Radio Operator License, technician class or higher, is eligible to become a member of RACES. The services of amateurs who have a Novice Class license may be used, but this is not recommended due to the privilege limitations. In Yavapai County, ARES and RACES are combined into a single organization whereby members can wear either or both hats as the situation warrants. If you are interested in joining ARES/RACES, please contact the District Emergency Coordinator/County Radio Officer WA6ZZJ, or one of the Emergency Coordinator/Assistant Radio Officers KC7CBK There are two forms that are needed for application. Both can be downloaded here: Send your completed forms to: Ares/Races Yavapai County Emergency Mgmt. 1100 Commerce Drive Prescott, AZ 86305 |
