ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) seems to be a topic that keeps coming up in listener correspondences. I had some ideas to share, but not being an active participant in the service, I knew I needed to get someone who was involved to help us define and understand it. Reaching all the way back to the beginning, I enlisted Cecil Higgins (AC0HA) who is now the ARES Section Manager for Missouri. In Episode 1 we discussed the Joplin Tornado disaster and ARES response. This time through, it's an Introduction to ARES. ARRL.org/ARES @ARES_ARES Following, we bring in John Jacobs (W7DBO) of Site Sponsor, CommsToGo.com.
