[1] RCV is the national member society representing Venezuela in the International Amateur Radio Union.

[2] In 1934, a group of radio broadcasters and science enthusiasts in Venezuela decided to create an institution to organize, teach, and represent the interests of all amateur radio enthusiasts in Venezuela.

On July 25, 1936, the Radio Club of Venezuela was admitted as a member of the International Telecommunication Union.

The network is called into service when it is required to establish emergency communications during a natural or civil disaster that affects the country.

The National Emergency Network uses the volunteer services of amateur radio stations throughout Venezuela, making it possible to establish communications from one side of the country to the other.
