Racine & Kenosha Counties Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES / RACES), also known as RKARES.ORG, is a completely volunteer run, 501(c)(3) organization. We are funded by our members, local HAM radio groups, local business owners and other people, just like you. Funds go towards the maintenance and equipment costs associated with providing emergency and civic communications services to our community.
