Amateur Radio Emergency Service (con’t)
¢The only
qualification, other than possession
of an Amateur Radio license, is a
sincere desire to serve. Because ARES is an amateur service, only amateurs are eligible for membership.
¢The possession of emergency-powered equipment is desirable, but is not a requirement for membership.
