Answer Notes

When operating under RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) rules, you are still acting as an amateur radio control operator. Therefore, you are permitted to use any and all amateur frequencies that your specific license class currently authorizes you to use. You do not gain special access to local government channels, nor are you restricted to specific emergency-only frequency segments within the amateur bands. Your standard license privileges dictate where you can transmit, even during a RACES activation.
