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.

LARC will have a "club" table at the hamfest, but we need to know how many are interested in selling items or manning the table. Please contact Tom, KA4HKK, ASAP to advise! To go to the Hamfest website and for more information,

The meeting place for our regular monthly meeting has been changed! Beginning with the March 10, 2005 meeting, we will meet in the upper level of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as a first step in bringing our ARES unit and the club closer to the nerve center of emergency operations and emergency preparedness efforts. The EOC is located adjacent to the downtown Lenoir Post Office on Harper Ave. Long-range plans (2007) include a new building to be erected next to the new County Sheriff's Dept./ /Detention Center.
