We are Central Lancashire Raynet (CLR)

We are a group of Radio Amateurs who provide emergency communication to support the emergency services, local councils and responders within the Central Lancashire area.

After any disasters or an emergency, normal lines of communications, such as mobile telephones, landlines may be down. It is possible that even the emergency services communication is down or just overloaded with the volume of traffic. The group trains to provide communications to the services that need it.

Events help to raise funds for the group which is used for equipment. We are unable to raise an invoice for helping at events so rely on the event organisers donating to our group fund. The group has some equipment of its own but the majority of the time the members use their own equipment at their own cost.
