Public Service Information Pages
A Listing of Amateur Radio Public Service Events in and around the ARRL South Florida Section.
This web page is presented as a public service to the Amateur Radio community providing information pertaining to public service events. If you or your Amateur Radio Club are supporting an event or need help providing communications, this is the place to list the event. Events posted here are generally in the Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties although any event information received will be posted. Postings need to include the date, event name, served agency, contact, estimate of amateurs needed and any other related information. Information can be sent via email or phone. Most events are conducted on 2 meters.
There is probably no one person more respected for his views without regard for race, religion or political party than Paul Harvey. Ahead of his time in 2003, he documented for the world Amateur Radio's contribution to Public Service: "America's quiet warriors are the legion of ham radio operators, 700,000 of them, who are always at ready for backup duty in emergencies – amateur, unpaid, uncelebrated, civilian radio operators, during and after floods and fires and tornadoes. After the 9/11 attacks, hams were indispensable in reuniting friends and families. Most recently it was they who expedited the search for debris after the disaster to the space shuttle Columbia, and right now, at this moment, they are involved in homeland security to a greater degree than you would want me to make public." — Paul Harvey News and Comment, ABC Radio, March 19, 2003
