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... ??
Because the Smithsonian Institution would not acknowledge that the Wright brothers had built the first man-carrying heavier-than-air machine capable of powered flight, the Wrights sent their craft to the Science Museum in London. It remained on display there until the Smithsonian admitted their mistake and agreed to house the historic plane.

OMMISSION
Mark Bradshaw, KJ4WY, was inadvertently ommitted from the "Thank You" list of those responsible for getting the repeater back on the air recently. Mark was instrumental in the tuning and setting up the cavities to return the repeater to an active status. So...THANKS Mark!!
