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... ?? The Soviet Union and the United States are just two miles apart. In the Bering Strait, which lies between Siberia and Alaska, there is an island named Little Diomede, which is part of the United States. Two miles to the west is another island, Big Diomede, which is part of the Soviet Union.
