Welcome to the Highland LAkes Amateur Radio Club

ARES (AMATEUR RADIO EMERGENCY SERVICES)

“Amateur radio operators use their training, skills, and equipment to provide communications during emergencies When All Else Fails^®.  Hams serve our communities when storms or other disasters damage critical communication infrastructure, including cell towers, and wired and wireless networks. Amateur radio can function completely independently of the internet and phone systems. An amateur radio station can be set up almost anywhere in minutes. Hams can quickly raise a wire antenna in a tree or on a mast, connect it to a radio and power source, and communicate effectively with others”  From ARRL.org
