Lancaster ARES will conduct our annual April Towers Drill on Saturday, April 19th 2025 from 1000 - 1200 hrs EDT.  For 2025, our focus will be on the effectiveness of the UHF Amateur Band using Simplex Frequencies and the locally established UHF Repeater Systems.

As before, April Towers Drill will focus on major municipal locations throughout Lancaster County.  We are looking for operators who wouldn't mind cruising around Lancaster County on a fine spring morning to test radio communications!

Everyone is invited to attend the First Quarter 2025 Training and info meeting. Please invite anyone interested in public service through Amateur Radio! Please RSVP, and add a comment if you will be bringing anyone who is not already a Lancaster ARES team member.  <RSVP HERE>

We will review our accomplishments from 2024, cover a couple training topics, give updates on Lancaster ARES activities for the upcoming year.

Special thanks to the Red Rose Repeater Association, who has rented the site for their Winter Field Day 2025 activity and has allowed us to once again piggyback with their event.. RRRA will have plenty of food and beverages, so come out for the ARES meeting, and stay around to learn and operate in the Winter Field Day! If you are able, please consider making a small donation to RRRA to help cover their expenses.
