Services

This is our primary service. Along with supporting public service events UtahSAG works with both Salt Lake County ARES and Utah County ARES to provide support in the event of an emergency. UtahSAG also supports the Utah NWS office in Salt Lake City providing support in the event of a weather related emergency.

In conjunction with the W5YI Salt Lake Area VE group we provide FCC Amateur Radio License testing

UtahSAG is a Utah 501(c)3 registered non-profit corporation with the purpose of supporting Amateur (HAM) radio organizations and operators in the state of Utah who provide communications support for charity events such as Cycle for Life (The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation) and Ride with the Angels (Angel Hands Foundation). In the past we had the honor of supporting The Tour de Cure (American Diabetes Association), The Summit Challenge (The National Ability Center), Tim Wangsgaard Memorial Ride/Ride 4 Education (Utah School Employees Association), and Scouting for Food (Utah Food Bank).

In addition to these charity events we also support public century bicycle rides that make donations to charity organizations such as Front Runner Century (Crohn's and Colitis Foundation as well as Air Force and Navy Family charities), The Wildflower Pedalfest (Utah Bicycle Collective), The Huntsman sportsfest (Huntsman Cancer Institute), Little Red Riding Hood (Huntsman Cancer Institute) and other public events such as marathons, parades and community holiday ceremonies.

UtahSAG also makes it's members and equipment available to local public service and community organizations such as police and fire departments, when requested, in the event of public emergencies as well as the National Weather Service of Utah to provide weather information from around the state during emergency weather conditions.

By supporting these events UtahSAG provides services to around 8,000 event participants each year. SAG services include transportation, food/water, and general care so that the participants can enjoy the event they are participating in.

UtahSAG is comprised of a three person board of directors, all of whom are HAM radio operators, as well as an informal association of over 450 HAM radio volunteers throughout the state and including operators in Idaho and Nevada.
