   Amateur Radio Emergency Service:

The Toccoa Amateur Radio Society is now affiliated with A.R.E.S.

   The Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) consists of licensed amateurs who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment for communications duty in the public service when disaster strikes. Every licensed amateur, regardless of membership in ARRL or any other local or national organization, is eligible for membership in the ARES. The only qualification, other than possession of an Amateur Radio license, is a sincere desire to serve. Because ARES is an amateur service, only amateurs are eligible for membership. The possession of emergency-powered equipment is desirable, but is not a requirement for membership.

"What to report from Storm Spotters to Net Controller"

 "The net controller has direct contact to the Greenville/Spartanburg Weather Bureau and all  storm spotters need to go through John Labar of Carnesville, Georgia, when reporting any damage. To become a certified trained SKYWARN Spotter, you need to attend the two classes offered by the Weather Bureau." A beginners class and  an Advanced class. When finished, you will be given a certificate of Achievment.

1- One inch hail or larger.
 
2- Wind guts to 58 mph-damage starts to occurs. Trees, power lines down,
    structual damage or rotating clouds,  counter clockwise + "TORNADOS".
 
3- Down burst or micro  burst: does not rotate.
 
4- Do not open any windows inside your home. Wind will build up pressure
    and cause damage.
 
5- Flooding from a creek, across a highway or road that is not passable or
     threatens life.
 
6- 2.5 inches of rain in a 3 hour period. Use a Campbell  soup can to measure
    rain fall.
 
7- Snow: report inches on a flat surface.
 
8- Ice accumulation- be accurate when reporting.
 

              "Do not report lightning or thunder to net controller"

    that  have mental buttons and operating electrical equipment.
