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... ?? * If the 23 million cubic kilometers of ice in the world melted at the same time, the volume of the oceans would increase only 1.7 percent, but this would be enough for the sea level to rise about 180 feet. The Empire State Building would be in water to nearly the twentieth floor.
* Perfectly still water can be lowered to temperaures several degrees lower than the freezing point (32 deg. F, 0 deg. C) --and remain liquid.
