Public Service Information Pages A facet of Amateur Radio in and around the Dallas/Fort Worth regional area. This web page is presented as a public service to the Amateur Radio community providing information pertaining to public service events. If you or your Amateur Radio Club are supporting an event or need help providing communications, this is the place to list the event. Events posted here are generally in the Dallas metropolitan area although any event information received will be posted. Postings need to include the date, event name, served agency, contact, estimate of amateurs needed and any other related information. Information can be sent via email or phone. Most Dallas area events, if conducted as a controlled net, qualify for RACES credit. Check with your local RACES radio officer if in doubt. Most events are conducted on 2 meters.
Just recently, Riley Hollingsworth, Special Counsel for Amateur Radio, speaking at the Ft. Wayne Indiana Hamfest says "it's time for more amateurs to get involved with public service." He went on to say that since September 11, Amateur Radio and its potential have moved into a prominent position on the national front and that we must move quickly to establish our place.
