ARES volunteers are licensed amateur radio operators who are organized and highly trained to provide emergency communications during emergencies and public service events. “When all else fails” is a motto of ARES because in many instances, amateur radio communications are operational when other communications systems have failed or are over burdened.

We hold a 2-meter net every Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. on the White Bluff repeater. The frequency is 147.375, + 0.6 offset, PL tone 146.2. We also have the ability to connect to the McEwen repeater (147.225, + 0.6 offset, PL tone 114.8) as needed to expand coverage and combine resources. You do not need to be a member of ARES to participate.

The above link will take you to the District 11 information page. Emergency Coordinator and HF nets are listed. 

If you are interested in joining the ARES team, please let us know. We also need volunteers to be net control for the 2 meter net.
