Mission Statement

Chester County ARES/RACES (CCAR) provides emergency communications for Chester County Department of Emergency Services (CCDES) from any location within Chester County to locations designated by CCDES. Chester County ARES/RACES also provides communications assistance to other agencies based on coordinated cooperative arrangements with neighboring counties following a request made through CCDES. Registered FCC-licensed amateur radio operators provide 2-way voice and digital communications services on a volunteer basis.

It is the responsibility of individual volunteers to prepare themselves and their personal equipment to provide reliable communications within two hours of activation and be self-sustaining at field assignments for periods up to 72 hours. CCAR provides emergency communications training for its members. CCAR will operate in compliance with the the Chester County Emergency Operations Plan and the Eastern Pennsylvania Section ARES Emergency Plan.

<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r0i4b4ebx49xtc8/AACOYw6sM3yGc1TbYa76HjeYa?dl=0>

All members checking into the CCAR Weekly Information Net should download a copy of the weekly drill message in advance and be prepared to transmit the message if called upon by the Net Control Station. A “scripted” version of the message is included for your reference.

A version of the message formatted for flmsg is included for NBEMS practice after the net.

The handling of formal message traffic is a basic skill we all need to have as emergency communicators. Your participation in this weekly training activity will help to keep your message handling skills sharp.

Questions regarding this activity can be directed to me at wb3gck@arrl.net.

See you on the Net!
