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.
