West Devon RAYNET

Radio Amateurs Serving The Community

In 1953, Radio amateurs voluntarily assisted during the storms and flooding of the East Coast of England, providing the only working links to shipping in the North Sea and communication across much of East Anglia, when the storms knocked out the radio and telephone links. The following year agreement was reached with the UK licensing authorities that RAYNET could pass messages on behalf of a third party, normally not permitted under the amateur license, for specified 'User Services'. Today the list of our users services include:-

• UK Police forces
• Fire Brigades
• Ambulance Services
• St John Ambulance
• British Red Cross
• Local and County Emergency Planning Officers
• Coastguard
