Content related to the activities of the RRRA ARES Committee and the “voluntary noncommercial communication service, particularly with respect to providing emergency communications” (“Amateur Radio Service.” 47 “CFR” 97.1(a). 2016.), provided to the public by Amateur Radio operators.

Jingle Bell Run Communication Support Canceled

RRRA will not be providing communication support for the 2023 Jingle Bell Run because no one was willing to volunteer to coordinate the radio operators.

Our inability to service existing public service communication clients could very likely lead to fewer future oportunities for RRRA to fulfill the fundamental purpose of the Amateur Radio Sevice defined in 14 CFR Part 91.1 (a).
