Subscriptions

• ARRL ARES E-Letter—requires ARRL membership
• EMCOMM Monthly—email letter put out by EmComm.org
• VT ARES Email Reflector—The VTARES Email Reflector is a moderated reflector, meaning that all messages for the group must be reviewed and approved prior to being forwarded on to the list. Therefore, it may take a number of hours before a post to the group will be distributed. The normal volume of traffic is pretty light, but in a deployment or emergency situation expect its use to increase, becoming a main communications venue within the ARES group.
