TCARES (Tuolumne County Amateur Radio & Electronics Society) is an amateur radio club that serves the Tuolumne County, California, region, in the central Sierra Nevada mountains. We have a linked repeater system for use by licensed amateur radio operators that provides good coverage of the area.

The vision of TCARES is to be a center, or hub, for amateur radio  enthusiasts, known for our commitment to innovation, education, and community engagement. We aspire to cultivate an environment where members of all skill levels can learn, share, and thrive in the realm of radio communication. By combining the old with the new, we will continue in supporting existing programs, developing and shaping the future of ham radio and its applications, and upholding the core values of camaraderie, learning, and public service.

Our mission is to: a) support amateur radio events; b) provide radio communications support teams for local community events; c) provide health and safety communication services for emergencies and disasters; d) maintain disaster and emergency readiness by conducting regular simulation drills and participating in disaster simulation events; e) maintain our 2 meter linked repeater system for radio communication purposes; f) educate and train new amateur radio operators and conduct FCC testing for new licenses and upgrades; g) provide educational services and demonstrations to local area schools and community organizations; and h) create a positive, supportive environment for our members that promotes camaraderie and fellowship.
