Subject: RACES Operations

The purpose of the regulation is to limit radio traffic during an FCC
declared communication emergency, at which time only RACES operators can
operate on defined RACES frequencies and other HAMS are excluded by law.

That is why our program operates as ARES net vice a RACES net.  We will
take a report from anyone, but will cross-check reports from spotters
that we do not know.

I think some Skywarn operations are using the RACES umbrella to exclude
people who may or may not know what they are doing.  If that is the case
why don't you use PL tones to deny repeater access to spotters who may
have crediable reports.  I would think that your NWS office would want
all reports.
