Part 97 of the FCC Rules for Amateur Radio state that the first of five basic principles on the basis and purpose of amateur radio is, "Recognition and enhancement of the value of the amateur service to the public as a voluntary, noncommercial communication service, particularly with respect to providing emergency communications [97.1(a)]" Accordingly, in conjunction with the Yavapai Amateur Radio Club and the Verde Valley Amateur Radio Club, members participate on a regular basis in communication support to various activities in Yavapai County. Support of these activities provides good training for the time when ARES/RACES is needed in times of actual emergencies. Some of these events are: Groom Creek Community Classic Contact Patti KD7VBG March of Dimes Walk Prescott Parades Prescott Road Rally Contact Bob WB7RRQ Skull Valley Loop Challenge Contact Lloyd WA6ZZJ Step Out: Walk To Stop Diabetes Contact John WB9VGJ Whiskey Off Road Mountain Bike Event Contact Lloyd WA6ZZJ Whiskey Row Marathon Contact Lloyd WA6ZZJ Yavapai County Fair Contact Doug KV8TD In addition to the public service events listed above, the primary focus of ARES/RACES is supporting our served agencies. These include: All Cities and Towns in Yavapai County American Red Cross Fire Departments US Forest Service Fire Center Yavapai County Community Health Services Yavapai County Office of Emergency Management Top of Page |
