Racine County ARES/RACES

The Racine County 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 aid to a ship in trouble at sea, or provided communications for a Red Cross shelter, you're hearing about an ARES function. You become an ARES member by completing the required training and signing up with your local emergency co-coordinator, but that does not mean you have to be a member of ARRL to participate in ARES.

We operate on the following frequencies:

 Primary: 442.00 MHz (+ 5.0 MHz) with a CTCSS tone of 127.3 Hz.

Secondary: 147.270 MHz (+600 kHz) with CTCSS tone of 127.3 Hz.

Attention all hams
