<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p>
This is the site of the Michigan Section of the Amateur Radio Emergency Services.
</p>
<p>Michigan ARPSC is
the Amateur Radio Public Service Corps and encompasses
<a href="http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/pscm/sec1-ch1.html">ARES</a> (Amateur Radio Emergency Services), <a href="http://www.races.net/what.html">RACES</a> (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services) and <a href="http://www.skywarn.org/">Skywarn</a> (a service provided in cooperation
with the National Weather Service). ARES Events can be any event where a Communications need exists of a non-commercial nature (<a href="http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/news/part97/">FCC Part 97 Rules</a>). ARES is administered by the <a href="http://www.arrl.org/">ARRL - American Radio Relay League</a>. RACES is any event that the Government sees a need for additional communications needs (Generally the Governor of a state or their duly appointed Representative makes the call. For clarification please read <a href="http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/news/part97/">
Part 97 Rules</a>) and is administered by <a href="http://www.fema.gov/">FEMA</a>. Skywarn is administered by the <a href="http://www.noaa.gov/">NOAA - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration</a> National Weather Service Division. There are four
National Weather Service sites in Michigan -
<a href="http://www.crh.noaa.gov/dtx/">Detroit/White Lake</a>,
<a href="http://www.crh.noaa.gov/grr/">Grand Rapids</a>,
<a href="http://www.crh.noaa.gov/apx/">Gaylord</a> and
<a href="http://www.crh.noaa.gov/mqt/">Marquette</a>. </p>
<p>
Michigan is unique in that it was one of the first if not the first
state in the United States to recognize the need for Amateur Radio
Operators to be cross-trained in both ARES and RACES protocols. This
aids the process of assistance we provide in the sense that
cross-trained individuals who start out as an ARES Operator can just
change hats and continue the operations wearing the RACES hat. This was
in no small part to several individuals in the Eighth Region (Ohio and
Michigan in particular!) and most
especially to George Race, WB8BGY as well as others. </p>
<p>
Amateur Radio Operators are unique people who have a love for
Communications. This is one of the first Wireless Mediums that was
invented and has been used for everything from World Wide Communications
in the HF (High Frequency) Spectrum, to local Communications in the
VHF/UHF (Very High Frequency/Ultra High Frequency) Spectrum, to
Microwave Communications. Different types of ways have also been
perfected or discovered via Amateur Radio such as SSB (Single-Side
Band), AM (Amplitude Modulation), FM (Frequency Modulation), Packet (the
forerunner to what we know as an Internet Protocol), ATV (Amateur
Television), RTTY (Radio-Teletype), PSK-31 (Phase-Shift Keying) and many
other types of communications.
</p>
<p>
This Web Site was developed as a way for you the reader to learn
something about Amateur Radio and what is happening in the State of
Michigan.
</p>
<p>
In the sidebar on the left you will notice several items
including the buttons that will take you to additional pages on this
site. The top two items are propagation aids for Radio Operators. When
there are Flares or Geomagnetic Storms communications can be hard at
best for certain locations and bands. The Third item is the current
state of the Homeland Security level. All of these are important
functions of which we should all be aware of at any given time.
</p>
<h1>Our Mission Statement</h1>
<p>
<ul>
<i>"Develop the Michigan ARPSC Program in to a fully integrated
communications team ready, willing and able to provide radio
communications support to Public Service Agencies and the citizens of
Michigan."</i>
</ul>
</p>
<h1>2011 ARRL Simulated Emergency Test</h1>
<p>
The After-Action Report / Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) for the 2011 SET is <i>finally</i>
available in the <a href="Library.php" target="Library">Library</a>. Follow the
"Collection Here" link on the Library main page.
