Houghton and Keweenaw Co. ARES


        Amateur Radio Disaster Services provide emergency communications assistance to Houghton and Keweenaw County's Offices of Emergency Measures, the Western Upper Peninsula chapter of the American Red Cross, and Superior Search & Rescue. ARES also provides communications assistance to community events such as the Lake Superior PRO Rally (A.K.A. "POR") and the Great Bear Chase Ski Race.  ARES is a service function of the Amateur Radio Relay League.

        ARES is not a 'club'. It is merely a callout list of experienced emergency service communications operators drawn from the local amateur radio clubs. The clubs are the Husky Amateur Radio Club (HARC), the Copper Country Radio Amateur Association (CCRAA), and the Keweenaw County Repeater Association.
