Peterborough ARES/ASC (Amateur Radio Emergency Service/Auxiliary Communications Service) is having an ARES/ASC Training Course. This course is open to anyone who would like to be a member of Peterborough ARES/ASC or be added to the Floater List.  The Floater List is any ARES/ACS member who does not want to participate in the weekly ARES/ACS Nets. There has been many changes to ARES/ACS in the last few years that includes requirements to operate in EOCs  (Emergency Operations Centers).  For this reason, all ARES/ASC participants including the Floater List must now have ARES/ASC Training as a "minimum" requirement.

Please note, during an Emergency ARES/ACS activation, any Amateur Radio volunteer who wishes to help, will not be refused but will likely operate in a limited role.

When: Saturday, September 16th, 2023
Time: 9:00am - 4:00pm
Where: Keene Fire Station 1, 21 Third Street, Keene
Field Exercise: TBD (One Saturday morning, sometime in October)

Please email me at [email protected] by September 11th if you wish to enroll in this training session.

We hope that you consider applying your Amateur Radio skills to this important community service.
