MTEARS

EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS · TENNESSEE

MTEARS

The Middle Tennessee Emergency Amateur Repeater System is a statewide linked UHF-only system used for severe weather and other emergency communications.

HOW IT FITS WITH DICKSON COUNTY

Local first. Statewide when needed.

MTEARS connects counties and official weather/emergency information across Tennessee. It does not replace the local Dickson County severe-weather net or local Net Control.

1Observe safely

Only report useful storm, damage, or emergency information. Operator safety comes first.

2Use the local county net

When a Dickson County severe-weather net is active, normal storm and damage reports should go there first.

3County liaison relays

Reports meeting NWS criteria can be relayed from the county to MTEARS Net Control.

4Monitor the statewide picture

MTEARS Net Control shares watches, warnings, and situational updates while keeping the linked system available for essential traffic.

Direct reports can still be appropriate. MTEARS says mobile operators, or stations in counties without an active local severe-weather net, may pass qualifying reports directly to Net Control.
DICKSON COUNTY ACCESS PLANNING

Regional MTEARS links worth testing.

The current published MTEARS map does not show a dedicated Dickson County link. These nearby regional links are reference points for field testing—not a claim that any one of them is the best or currently available path from your location.

WHY THE MONDAY NET MATTERS

Know your path before an activation.

The weekly training net is a practical opportunity to test your radio, antenna, programming, and access path. MTEARS encourages stations to have a reliable way into the system and, when possible, more than one path.

  • Program more than one realistic regional link when your station can reach them.
  • Check in periodically from home, mobile, and important field locations.
  • Keep statewide-system transmissions concise; move extended conversations to local repeaters or simplex.
  • Treat the official MTEARS site and system map as authoritative for current system information.
