Auxiliary Communications Service (ACS)

Licensed Radio Amateurs use a wide range of radio bands, each one with its particular strength in overcoming the barriers to radio communications. Amateur Radio operators can also use a wide range of communication modes, whether TV, data, voice, or Morse code to exchange messages.

Ventura County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) administrates Ventura County RACES, and handles the Disaster Service Worker (DSW) registration.
