EC Candidates:  If your Illinois county is not listed with an EC, and you are a member of the ARRL and register in ARES with an EC, DEC or SEC, begin your ARRL public service with a challenging role as an ARRL Official Emergency Station (OES) first. See the OES/IL web page for more information.
As of the June 2005 Illinois Section Cabinet meeting, all  EC/IL candidates must have completed the ARRL EC-001 course and/or have the ARECC Level I certification.


As an OES or EC, you serve under ARRL Official Guidelines, with leadership, corporate experience, training, and knowledge of the American Radio Relay League supporting you and other ARES® responders. 


Contact Pat Ryan KC6VVT, Illinois Section Emergency Coordinator, at the Illinois ARES Link below to learn more, or for an ARRL EC or OES application and official guidelines .  Information on starting or maintaining ARES® in your area is available here, or from the ARRL web pages under Public Service, or contact KC6VVT for personal help in preparing BEFORE the emergency.
