Subject: WEEKLY CALIFORNIA STATE RACES BULLETIN INDEX

These Bulletins have been broadcast since the Fifties for Amateur
Radio operators to copy on Monday nights. Written by the Chief of
the Telecommunications Division  and his staff, they were
transmitted for years by retired State RACES Radio Officer Marion
Henson (W6NKR).

The Bulletins are written today by myself and our staff
statewide, as well as by Amateurs and officials from other
organizations. We hope that the answers to many of your questions
will be answered in the Bulletins. They are intended to help
provide guidance and ideas in the development and management of
the "deputy communicators" in our governments -- our RACES
volunteers. We welcome feedback and inputs. These messages, we
learned, have cleared up long standing misunderstandings.

If you don't have a RACES unit in your government, we welcome the
opportunity to present a RACES seminar in your community. The
seminar is for all of the Amateur Radio operators in your
operational area and its government officials. The RACES seminar
addresses the Who/What/Why/When/Where & How of using Amateur
Radio operators to provide emergency communications for their
civil defense/emergency management agency. It often includes
demonstrations of airborne color television transmission and high
speed digital radio communications called packet. No where else
in government can these modern modes of communications be
provided more economically and enthusiastically than through
Amateur Radio.

The RACES is not a doomsday resource of last resort. The RACES is
not a radio system that is called up when all other systems fail.
Far from it. The RACES is usually brought on line to parallel the
existing public safety communications during an emergency
incident. In a big emergency there are never enough communication
circuits.

The RACES can be employed often to maintain interest and
proficiency among these volunteers.  Many of these Bulletins will
show how is done.

The RACES is a unit established and maintained by state and
local governments in the U.S. to provide its disaster management
or civil defense agencies with emergency communications by and
with Amateur Radio resources. RACES personnel are encouraged to
participate in and cooperate with the American Radio Relay
League's ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) to maximize the
training, effectiveness and utilization of all Amateurs committed
to emergency communications.

The RACES Bulletins are transmitted weekly via the nationwide
packet radio system.    Look for them addressed to "RACES" from
