Clark County ARES/RACES wishes to express its appreciation to the Las Vegas Repeater Association for its visible and valuable support during exercises in which Clark County ARES/RACES has participated or generated by providing its very capable communications support vehicle, and for its willingness to make the communications support vehicle available to our organization for exercises, drills, and in the times of emergencies or disasters. Clark County ARES/RACES acknowledges and thanks the willingness of the many repeater owners in Clark County who have agreed to allow Clark County ARES/RACES to use their repeaters in emergency/disaster situations, if the need arises. |
