"Tactical Call Signs" for Clatsop County ARES Units


Tactical call signs are assigned by the Clatsop Office of Emergency Management, through the Clatsop Sheriff's office, for use on Public Safety radio frequencies.  These identifiers are provided to the dispatch centers so that they can identify us when we "pop-up" on public safety radio channels.  They are used in place of the FCC assigned amateur call signs as provided under FCC rules Part 97 (Amateur Radio) & Part 90 (Public Safety). 

A Strong Rreminder:
The use of public safety frequencies by Amateur Radio Operators is a PRIVILEGE ( not a right ) TEMPORARILY granted to us by the local agencies.  That PRIVILEGE can be revoked at any time if abused by even a single radio Amateur.
