ARES: Join
Placer County ARES
An
Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) organization consisting 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. For more information, visit the ARRL
Web Site.

| WIN System: |
- WIN System Intertie Network - The WIN System is a series of linked, or Intertied, UHF (440 MHz, or 70 cm) repeaters that cover a great deal of California, the U.S., and the World through either direct radio links or IRLP. The WIN System is owned and operated by Shorty Stouffer, K6JSI, with a lot of help from the WIN System membership and affiliates.
The Sacramento/Sierra Chapter has a MOU with the WIN System that allows us to us to isolate needed repeaters during a disaster, exercise or drill. This is an open system and we encourage your use of it on a day-to-day basis as needed.
