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...  ?? In the United States, the presidential candidate usually chooses his vice-presidential running mate on the basis of his vote-getting qualities, particularly in his home state.  Yet, through 1976, in eighteen of the twenty-six Presidential elections since the Civil War, vice-presidential candidates on the losing major party ticket did not win in their home states.
