The ARRL has
been serving the public, both directly and through
government and relief agencies almost since its
inception. To that end the League created the
Amateur Radio Emergency Service and the National
Traffic System. ARES and NTS are the League's
implementation of the FCC's basic principle.
The Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) was
established under the Federal Communications Commission
Rules and Regulations, as part of the amateur radio
service.
Welcome to the only national organization representing
Amateur Radio in the US. As an ARRL member you support
the ranks of thousands of other ham radio enthusiasts
shaping the Amateur Radio service today. If you
consider yourself an active ham... you need ARRL now.
If you are not presently an active ham... let ARRL help
you.
