Yolo County ARES conducted their August 20, 2013 meeting at the Yolo County EOC. Dana Carey from the Yolo County Office of Emergency Services, gave the ARES members an overview of the function on the Office of Emergency Services and discussed how Amateur radio operators will fit into to plan to support emergency communications.

ARES members were also able to tour the EOC, and the amateur radio station that Gary, WA6TQJ, and Ken, K6WLS, help get set up. Gary demonstrated the HF, 2 meter radios and the packet station.

This was an very informative meeting for all who were able to attend.
