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...  ?? Some 16,000 icebergs form in the Arctic each year, about 90 percent of them forming from glaciers on the west coast of Greenland.  They are dangerous only if they drift further south than Newfoundland, and an average of 400 do so each year.  The record southern penetration of an iceberg came on June 2, 1934, when one was sighted in mid-Atlantic at the latitude of northern Florida.
