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.

On November 9th, at the conclusion of the regular club business, the floor was turned over to Robert Reid, WR4UNC, to conduct the NIMS ICS-100 Certification Course. Why bother taking these rather complex courses? It will not be long until the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) will require ICS 100 & ICS 700 to be able to be deployed to work with FEMA, Emergency Management, and other public-service entities!
