The CARC ARES net is organized to provide backup communications in the event of an emergency in our area. The weekly net provides training in public service communications and also serves to announce activities of interest to local amateurs. ARES is an important part of the CARC, by which members offer volunteer community services, both in assisting at public events and in actual emergency situations. Through disciplined training and experience the club aims to develop skilled and self-sufficient operators able to meet a wide range of community communications needs. This is a directed net.
Visitors are welcome to check in after rollcall is completed.
It requires a 100 Hz PL tone. If the repeater is down, the net will use 146.980 simplex and make relays for outlying stations that wish to check in.
