Welcome to the Medway RAYNET Group Website.

RAYNET are Radio Amateurs, licensed by OFCOM, and are able to provide flexible radio communications in emergency situations, when normal systems of communication have failed, or perhaps when a more localised system is required, to avoid overloading the normal networks.Our members are all volunteers, and give up their free time to train and provide these services, using local events to practise as well as providing safety coverage.

RAYNET can be called on by 'User Services' - these are primarily the Emergency Services, such as Police, Fire and Ambulance services, but extends to the volunteer services as well, St. John (St. Andrews in Scotland), British Red Cross. Local authority Emergency Planning Officers and other utilities are also included.
