Public Service Events
Public Service Events are the closest thing to an emergency without actually having one. Public Service Events are planned events
for which we, as Amateur Radio operators, provide communications. These events may take the form of foot races, walk-a-thons, bike
races, bike-a-thons and the like. They allow us to practice our communications skills and exercise the equipment we might use in an
actual emergency. In most cases, events are fairly mundane with only a need for logistics communications, but every so often, there
is an actual emergency encountered during an event. We not only provide a valuable public service during these events, but it is also
good publicity for the Amateur Radio Service. Below is a list of upcoming special events. If you are able to help with any or all
of these events, please e-mail Bryce, K1GAX. Thank You!
The 2010 public service event season is over. Thanks to all who participated!
The 2011 events will be posted as they are
received.
