Members will, at all times, conduct themselves in a manner which reflects favorably on the amateur radio service and the clients we serve. The only qualification, other than possession of an Amateur Radio license is a sincere desire to serve. Because ARES is an amateur service, only amateurs are eligible for membership. The possession of emergency-powered equipment is desirable, but is not a requirement for membership. These emergencies are not limited to war-related activities, but can include natural disasters such as fires, floods and earthquakes.
