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 Federal government keeps billions of dollars--much of it taxes collected by the Internal Revenue Service--in bank accounts that draw no interest,  Banks turn around and invest much of these deposits in U.S. Treasury bills, on which the government frequently pays more than 9 percent interest.  Incredibly, the government is paying the banks to borrow back its own money.

The event (JOTA) relies on the Amateur Radio community and local hams for its success. Getting Boy and Girl Scouts (including Cubs and Brownies) on the air to talk with other Scouts around the world provides a great opportunity to expose youth to Amateur Radio.  See ARRL article in this issue.
Bike Ride - 2007 Since AID Station #2 was near the beginning of the Ride, there was no lull here!  At this point, very few had dropped out of the event and they were quite busy handing out high protein snacks such as bananas, fruits, cookies, and lots of Gator Ade!  Photo by Mike Aldridge, KI4RPM.
