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.
We are a program of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the national membership association for amateur radio operators in the United States. We also work closely with the Rochester Amateur Radio Association.
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 meet on the fourth Thursday of every month, 7:00 PM, at the Rochester Chapter of the American Red Cross, 50 Prince Street, in Rochester, New York. We also meet on the air on the second Thursday of each month, 9:00 PM on the K2RRA 146.88 (-) repeater.
We have an e-mail list that we use to keep members informed. To join the list, click here.
