Lake County R.A.C.E.S/ARES ® is affiliated
with the ARRL, and the Lake County Emergency Management
Agency. Our group concentrates on emergency and civil
communications to support the safety of Lake County
Illinois residents. We provide a communication team for public
service for approximately a dozen events annually
(parades, running races, triathlons, canoe races, etc.).
We activate communication nets during periods of severe
weather (with trained weather spotters and
communicators) to assist the Lake County Sheriff and The
National Weather Service and provide other supplementary
communications as needed by the Emergency Management
Agency.
Our membership meetings are held on the
1st Monday of the month (September through
June, 2nd Monday in September) at the Lake
County EOC at 7:00 PM. These meetings are typically a
business session followed by training in some related
topic. Everyone is welcome to attend, including non-hams
that are interested in becoming active in amateur radio.
We have a weekly net every Tuesday night
at 8:00 PM. on our primary repeater, W9FUL/R, 147.180
(+600 kHz) 3A PL (127.3 Hz). All hams are welcome to
check in.
Our Affiliate repeaters are KD9GY/R,
