The Caldwell Amateur Radio Emergency Services (CARES) Net is called every Sunday night at 8:30 PM on the 147.33 (Hibriten) repeater. This is a formal directed net and is sponsored by the ARES. Its purpose is to train, and keep in readiness, a pool of qualified emergency radio operators in the event of a local and/or regional emergency. Net checkins will be called by alpha groups and, unless you check in & out, you will be called again during the informal portion to offer any comments, etc. The 147.33 repeater has a CTCSS tone of 141.3 mhz. ?? Did you know... ?? It cost $4,000 per inch to build an interstate highway project on the fringe of New York City in the late 1970's - over $250 million per mile.

While it is understood that the ARRL Auction (just completed) goal is to raise money through the sale of new equipment that underwent reviews and testing and to accept donated vintage equipment for auction items, is it in the best interest to use this method to peddle new ARRL publications, music, and vacation packages? You decide!
