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... ??
Frank James, after a career of robbery and murder in the company of his brother Jesse, settled down to a peaceful life of 32 years. He sold souvenirs at the James farm, worked as a doorman of a theater, and fired the starter's gun at Missouri racetracks, where he always was cheered by the crowd.

NO CODE LICENSES!
If the FCC gets its way (and it usually does!), no-code requirement for
all
classes of licenses may soon be upon us! While there are many pros and cons to this action, the FCC is wanting to do away with the existing code requirements . Full details appear in an excerpt of the ARRL Letter, Vol. 24, Nr. 28, dated July 22, 2005, on page 8.
