OCARES -- Ocean County ARES
About OCARES	English (USA)
The Amateur Radio Emergency Service® was formed to provide an alternate means of communications during times of emergency or disaster. This service is one of the primary reasons for the licensing of radio operators in the Amateur Radio Service, as provided under Part 97 of the FCC rules and regulations. The ARRL has established the ARES® as a means of providing this service on a level which supports local, county, and statewide organizations. National and international levels of cooperation are supported and coordinated through the ARRL. The Ocean County ARES® is comprised of licensed operators concerned with providing emergency communications when needed. An operator does not have to be a member of the ARRL to join ARES®. In addition, membership in ARES® does not require that the operator become a member of any other organization. Members are, however, encouraged to join local clubs and the RACES organization. This discussion group is another method of transmitting Ocean County, New Jersey information regarding training, meetings, etc. ARES® and Amateur Radio Emergency Service® are registered trademarks of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and permission has been granted for the use of these symbols by our organization. We are a field service of the ARRL and operate and abide by League rules and regulations. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the OCARES Archives.
