Welcome to the Amateur Radio Public Service Events Website! |
 |
 |
 This site has been established to link Amateur Radio (Ham) Operators with various public service opportunities in the state of Utah. All throughout the year, Amateur Radio Operators volunteer their time and equipment to help support a wide variety of events. These events include, but are not limited to, parades, walks, runs, and bike tours. While Amateur Radio operators are primarily communicators, they in many cases get heavily involved in the actual operation of the event. Whether it be helping to plan logistical support or responding to event emergencies, Amateur Radio Operators play a vital role in the health and safety of event participants and overall event success.

There has been a lot of discussion lately about the use of Amateur Radio for Public Service Events. In October 2009, a power point was released from the Chris Imlay (W3KD), ARRL General Counsel and Dan Henderson (N1ND), ARRL Regulatory Information Manager. This presentation helps to clarify some of the topics being discussed and you are encouraged to review the presentation to help formulate your own opinion. A copy of the presentation is available by CLICKING HERE. Another great reference is the ARRL Special Events maual which is availavble by CLICKING HERE. |
