September 2025 Tech Talk – RACES

KD5HIY 18 September, 2025 0 Comments

Join Us Saturday Morning, September 20, at 10 AM at the EOC For An Overview on RACES and ARES 

Presented by Don KG5VMV

The "Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service," established to replace the conventional "Amateur Radio Service" during wartime, was developed in 1952 as result of input from the ARRL and the Department of the Army's Office of Civil Defense.

1935: The concept of ARES began with the ARRL Emergency Corps, formed after a call in QST Magazine invited hams to register for emergency duty. It evolved to become ARES in 1963.

ARES has deployed for a variety of other emergencies and disasters, including the 2003 North American Blackout which covered a wide geographical area of North America. In the United States its scope included Cleveland, Detroit, and New York City.

What is the difference between RACES and ARES? Unlike RACES, ARES can operate without a declared emergency, making it more flexible for drills, public events, and pre-disaster coordination.

How does the Hurst Amateur Radio Club operate RACES??

When and How do RACES Activations occur?

What items do we want reported to RACES?
