GHRC Search & Rescue - HamSAR

Some GHRC members are also members of GHRC Search & Rescue, a division of Gallatin County SAR.  Our coordinator is Laura Marino, KJ7UN.

GHRC SAR members carry pagers and respond to all requests for communications, mapping, personnel management & other SAR related activities.  We train regularly and keep our skills up to date.  It is important to have good radio operator skills, charged and ready-to-go radios, knowledge of County frequency plans, knowledge of GPS/Mapping and related computer programs  and a willingness to respond professionally at any hour of the day or night to assist the County in a SAR event.  We provide training in ALL these areas, so if you are new to ham radio, we can get you going in Search & Rescue!!
