Council adopts resolution recognizing amateur radio operators for emergency service
Summary
Delaware County Council passed Resolution 2025-10 on May 27 to recognize amateur radio operators' volunteer support for emergency communications and community events.
Delaware County Council adopted Resolution 2025-10 on May 27 recognizing and honoring amateur radio operators for their volunteer service, including support to local emergency response organizations.
A council member said the resolution, sent to the council by Commissioner Grama, acknowledges amateur radio operators’ century-long history and their role as an emergency communications resource when cell networks are down. Council members noted operators coordinate with local emergency management and the National Weather Service Skywarn program.
Council approved the resolution by roll call; the text encourages citizens to recognize the operators’ volunteer public service and notes the American Radio Relay League as the lead national organization and its Field Day emergency-communications exercise in June.
