Founded in 1914, the American Radio Relay League is the national association for amateur radio in the USA. Today, with more than 160,000 members, the ARRL is the largest organization of radio amateurs in the world.
ARRL is the leader of Amateur Radio in the USA and the primary source of information about what is going on in the ham radio world. ARRL works with the Federal Communications Commission, the World Radiocommunication Conference, the International Amateur Radio Union, and the general public. |
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 Emergency Management Agency and The National Weather Service. We provide other supplementary communications as needed by the Emergency Management Agency.
