Emergency communications... powered by volunteers and technology.. ARESC
Amateur Radio Emergency Services Company - ARESC - is a organization created to foster the hobby and serve the public, at-large.
The ARESC Repeater Network is utilized by Northwest Indiana Skywarn as the preferred communications mode during storm spotting activities. More information about Northwest Indiana Skywarn may be found here: http://www.nwispotters.org
ARESC operates as a not-for-profit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Indiana.
ARESC repeaters are open to all Amateur Radio Operators; however, during weather emergencies, repeater assets are reserved for emergency communications.
The flagship repeater, 146.685- Valparaiso, was constructed initially while Kevin Babich (N9IAA) was a Junior in High School in 1993. It remained in operation until 1998, returning to the air in 2012. The repeater, in addition to providing a medium for emergency Skywarn communications, enables testing of emerging technologies.
During the summer of 2013, a Digital Repeater affiliated with the DMR-MARC network, was constructed. Quickly, this new mode and repeater has been adopted by many and become part of the growing world-wide network of repeaters affiliated with DMR-MARC.
