Mission Statement

The Amateur Radio Service, as established by Part 97 of the Federal Communications Commission’s regulations, must perform public service communications for the general public, particularly in times of emergency when normal communications are not available. To that end, we, the City of Fredericksburg Virginia Amateur Radio Emergency Service members, under the oversight of the American Radio Relay League, train and equip ourselves to provide communications as a direct service to the general public through government and relief agencies of the City of Fredericksburg, the State of Virginia, and Federal Agencies when requested by those agencies.
