ARES logo Is Amateur Radio of value to the citizens of the State of Michigan? I answer emphatically, yes.

The latest report from the ARRL’s Michigan Section Manager, Dale R. Williams, WA8EFK indicates that there have been many hours of volunteer time donated to the public by Michigan hams that may have gone un-noticed by that same public.

Michigan ARES/RACES programs reported 5,954 operator-hours for September, an in-kind contribution of $107,832 to the citizens of our state.  The NTS team contributed 5,489 Operator-hours for a $99,406 in-kind contribution to our citizens.
