Who can operate the RACES radio system?
Any licensed RACES radio member can operate the radio system. Since there are many licensed amateur radio operators, it is important that they are part of the RACES system. This ensures that your critical health and welfare messages are communicated in the correct way and that you know exactly who is operating the radio within your facility. Each VEM RACES operator will have an identification card issued from VEM. Hospitals may choose to identify staff members who may be licensed and become RACES operators.
