For 60 years, RAYNET groups have been offering the community a unique service \u2014\u00a0emergency communications independent of infrastructure which is vulnerable to\u00a0disruption by natural causes or technological failure. \u00a0The leadership of the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) and the Radio Amateurs\u2019\u00a0Emergency Network (RAEN) believe there are considerable benefits to there being one\u00a0RAYNET organisation. This is also the view of many RAYNET Group members. Not only\u00a0would it improve service to the community, it would benefit the interests and the image\u00a0of Amateur Radio as a whole. \u00a0The Board of the RSGB and the Committee of Management of RAEN have agreed to the\u00a0formation of a Joint Working Group to facilitate a closer working relationship between\u00a0the two organisations. It will also explore ways in which RAYNET could become a single,\u00a0unified body that would support and co-ordinate the work of all groups and members.<\/p>\n
The Joint Working Group welcomes any constructive comments and suggestions. Please\u00a0send them by email to future@raynet.org.uk or speak to the Chairman of RSGB\u2019s\u00a0Emergency Communications Committee or the Chairman of The Radio Amateurs\u2019\u00a0Emergency Network.\u00a0For more information about the announcement please contact either of the following:<\/p>\n
