DISTRICT 1 COORDINATOR
POSITION IS VACANT
Indiana District 1 ARES/RACES
The Indiana
Section Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) is the field arm
of the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL). The League deals with
all aspects of Amateur Radio, including legislation, licensing,
and contests; the ARES branch specifically deals with
communications during emergencies. When you hear in the news
that Amateur Radio operators were part of a search and rescue
operation, assisted in getting support to weather damaged ares,
or provided communications for a Red Cross shelter, you're
hearing about an ARES function.
You become an
ARES member by signing up with your local emergency co-ordinator,
but that does not mean you have to be a member of ARRL to
participate in ARES.
