GC ARES is a Group of Volunteer Amateur Radio Operators assisting George County Emergency Responders in radio communications for Emergency and Public Service Events. We also welcome the opportunity to assist any organization that is in need of assistance in additional radio operations to aid in logistics or extra eyes and ears during a special event, all no cost to you.. it is a free service. We also promote the radio hobby in other various ways, during joint ventures with other groups or individuals.
