Monroe County ARES/RACES
Providing Amateur Radio Public Service & Emergency Comunications Services to the greater Monroe County, New York Area
Welcome to Monroe County ARES/RACES web page
Monroe County ARES
Monroe County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES)® is an amateur radio public service organization based in Monroe County, New York, and is open to all licensed amateur radio operators.
Monroe County RACES
Monroe County Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) is a program of the Monroe County Office of Emergency Management.
We participate in training and emergency exercises so that we can serve other agencies during times of communication failure. Although the primary purpose of ARES is to provide emergency communication, ARES members also routinely provide non-business communications support to other public events.
We also hold a weekly net on 146.61 / 146.01 / 444.45 / 449.45 (PL 110.9) on Thursdays at 7:00 PM. All are welcome.
Monthly Meetings
Monroe County Amateur Radio Emergency Service holds regular meetings on the fourth Thursday of the month at 7:00PM. Anyone interested is welcome to attend.
At present face to face meetings are on hold due to COVID-19, and meetings are being held on Zoom instead. All are welcome to attend the Zoom meetings.
We do not meet during the months of July, August, and December. November’s meeting is the 3rd Thursday, so that we don’t interfere with anyone’s Thanksgiving plans.
When meetings are back to face to face, meetings are held at Red Cross 825 John Street, Rochester on odd numbered months, and at the EOC 1190 Scottsville Rd. on even months. If you find yourself locked out, give us a shout on the 146.61 (-) repeater.
