Welcome!

ARPSC (Amateur Radio Public Service Corps)  is a combination of the ARRL's ARES (amateur radio emergency service) program, FEMA's RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service), and The National Weather Service's Skywarn Service.

In Benzie County, the ARPSC Group meets for an on-air net on the primary repeater ( 147.04mhz ) in Benzonia @ 8:30pm  every Wednesday night. 

This group also meets the last Saturday of the month as the Benzie Amateur Radio Friends (BARF)  All radio amateurs are welcome on the nets and at the "Benzie Breakfast"  or the "BARF Breakfast"  You do not have to be a member of ARES/RACES to get on the net or to join us for breakfast.  We are a friendly group!
