(Amateur Radio Emergency Service)
From the Federal Communications Commission:
"The FCC [Federal Communications Commission] established amateur radio as a voluntary, non-commercial, radio communications service. It allows licensed operators to improve their communications and technical skills, while providing the nation with a pool of trained radio operators and technicians who can provide essential communications during emergencies."
In our scheduled nets, we practice emergency communications skills such as sending messages by voice and digital modes, and we also conduct a Severe Weather Practice Net twice a month.
The details of these nets are on our website.
