Community Service Events
The ARRL has changed it’s ARES Reporting categories for monthly reports
Community Service Event (CSE) is the new term for Amateur Radio support to parades, marathons, walks, etc.
Public Service Event (PSE) is now used for assistance given to Served Agencies such as EMA, Police, Fire, etc.
So, for example, support to the Xenia Marathon will be a CSE
Support for agencies during the Total Eclipse will be a PSE
As time goes on we will be updating this website to match the new terminology.
