The Fresno County ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) and Fresno County RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services) organizations have joined forces. Although ARES and RACES are separate entities, members now can have dual membership and provide greater flexibilty during emergencies. Using the same operators and the same frequencies, an ARES group also enrolled in RACES can “switch hats” from ARES to RACES or from RACES to ARES to meet the requirements of the situation as it develops. For example, during a “nondeclared emergency,” ARES can operate under ARES, but when an emergency or disaster is officially declared by a state or federal authority, the operation can become RACES with no change in personnel or frequencies.
A joint weekly net is held every Monday night at 19:30 hours on the N6HEW Repeater (147.150 + 141.3).Packet radio is up during the net on 145.030 and sign on to AC6WS-1.
All Fresno County hams are encouraged to participate if they have a desire to serve the community and a willingness to become proficient in emergency communications. If you have a question or would like to join Fresno County ARES/RACES, you may call:

SAGAMORE  The Air Force wants to clear the air.
Military officials asked the Federal Communications Commission to make ham radio operators eliminate radio frequency interference with the PAVE PAWS radar station, or shut down.
The alleged interference comes from 15 area repeaters  devices that relay a weak amateur radio signal so it has more power and reach. They share the 420-to-450-megahertz frequency with the satellite- and missile-tracking military radar.
The amateur radio operators, led by the American Radio Relay League, said they’ll gladly get out of the radar’s way. But the Air Force’s request has left them perplexed.
