Amateur Radio Emergency Services
Amateur Radio Emergency Service
The Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) is part of the Amateur Radio Relay League’s (ARRL) extensive volunteer field organization dedicated to public service.
ARES is comprised of amateur radio operators who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment, with their local ARES leadership, for communications duty in the public service when disaster strikes. Every licensed amateur, regardless of membership in the ARRL or any other organization, is eligible for membership in ARES.
ARES nets are held every Monday evening at 1900 hrs local time, on the two W6LIE repeaters of 146.910-pl 100 and 145.150-pl 100.
For more information, visit the Western Kern County ARES website.
