Anyone know of an ARES group or other emergency communication volunteer group that would be friendly to a late 20-something that has a decent background in radio communications (use AND service of)?

I am sure ARES/RACES would be glad to have all the help they can get.
Check on your favorite repeater and I will bet someone on there can direct you to someone who you can contact to join up. Gud Luck & 73

also check your local city (if you are not in Seattle proper) fire department they will point you in the correct direction. Normally cities dont like to steal people from other cities, also for logistics if you live in redmond there isnt much point being on the kent EOC when the damn blows you cant get from one city to the other very fast.

otherwise as listed about the repeater here is the site with the info for net and freq times listen in for a while and guest check in for info after the net
