ares-mi.org
nts-mi.org
mi-arpsc.org
auxcomm-mi.org

The major areas of the site are shown at the top of the page (ARES, NTS, and the AUXCOMM Work Group). Most navigation—including a search—is found on the menu on the right (or below these articles if you’re visiting this site on your phone). In addition, at the bottom of the page are a few additional items, namely:

About Michigan ARPSC
Net control schedule for the Michigan ARPSC net
The report formatter tool that you can use to prepare your public service honor roll (PSHR) and/or station activity report (SAR)

If you are an EC, sign in and you find the link for entering your county’s hours for the month. Note: if this is your first time signing in, follow the link on the login page to reset your password.
