 Radio
Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) training
In 2006, Arlington Radio Public Service Club, in co-operation with Arlington
County RACES, Fairfax County RACES and Virginia RACES, Inc. conducted
weekly one-hour RACES interactive training classes via the Internet and
toll-free voice conference bridge for participants.
Arlington's RACES training is a unique method of providing training using
the best of today's technology.
In addition to being convenient for the class participants, the course
helped save fuel, reduced air pollution and allowed participants to obtain
training from the comfort of their homes.
These training materials are available without charge to local governments
and nonprofit organizations who would like to use them for training purposes
