DeKalb ARES
Membership
Membership is open to all FCC licensed amateur radio operators who successfully pass the basic training requirements. To maintain membership, you are expected to check-in to weekly nets, attend monthly meetings and participate in community events and drills. These activities help us sharpen our communications skills. We are organized to provide communications support to various agencies of government and charitable organizations on request. It is through drills and other training that we become proficient in providing vital communications support in the event of a community need. Failure to maintain participation in DeKalb ARES activities will cause you to be dropped from our roster.
The DeKalb ARES member who accumulates the highest number of service hours, as reported in the Georgia ARES database, will receive an annual award for their participation.

This is where we'll announce the most recent additions to our activities calendar. If you've visited us before and want to know what's coming up, take a look here first. Please register for our Dekalb ARES Groups.Io https://groups.io/g/DeKalbARES to receive last minute info.
The Georgia ARES Database can be accessed from the front page of the Georga ARES web page at: www.gaares.org.
There is a button labelled "GA ARES Database" in the lower right corner which will take you to the GA ARES Database.
Your Login Name is your callsign. If you have not used this database, check with either Steve Garrison(n4tty at arrl.net) or George Olive (ai4ur at arrl.net) for password assistance.
We now have a system that will send a e-mail or text message to your cell or PC when we are activated. It also sends warnings from the National Weather Service that affect DeKalb County. If you want to be on this system, I need you to send me either your e-mail address or your cell phone number and the name of your cellular provider. That way the system can route the alert to the proper place.Send the info here. We promise not to abuse this with meeting announcements and other non-critical info. However we will send a monthly test message to ensure that your alerting link is still intact.
I'm interested in joining DeKalb ARES, have someone contact me
