CARIBOU, Maine -- Seven Caribou area residents passed the Federal Communications Commission licensing exam for their Amateur Radio Operators License on Tuesday night, March 21. For the past several weeks, the students, including a former sheriff, businessman, farmer and retired minister, have been meeting twice a week learning about emergency communications, radio and antenna design and safety and FCC regulations. The class was sponsored by the Caribou Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service, a group of volunteers that serve the city's Emergency Management Agency. As part of the Department of Homeland Security's FEMA division, local RACES units operate under strict Civil Defense regulations to support local governments during periods of declared emergencies or should the President invoke the War Powers Act. Amateur Radio Operators have played a critical role in every major disaster since WWII.
