The current EMA-ARRL structure co-exists with the STATE RACES Officer and going nothing. ARES has nets that do NOTHING. RACES does nothing. 85% of the communities south of Boston do not have any active participation in the RACES drills. This seems to be true, there is an ARES net near me that does not do any training but encourages parcipitants to do conversation after everyone has checked in. In the course Emergency Communication I we are discouraged from doing conversation during emergency communication and encouraged to be brief and accurate with our communication. John Ragland - KE6CQK Your all correct. MARS is doing nothing either except checkin nets every other Saturday where no training is done. After 70 years of AARS/MARS continuous service I droped out of it last year. Only few people left on local nets, and mostly no training, just idle conversation takes place.
