on a frequency of 449.300 -pl 103.5
The net is held every Thursday at 1900 hours except the first Thursday of the month to avoid conflict with the MVARA Club meetings.
Our monthly meetings are held at the Riverside Red Cross chapter,
6235 River Crest Drive in Riverside and also start at 1900 hours.
The purpose of this Net is for ARES members to check their
equipment and practice their involvement in a controlled Net. ARES
is composed of licensed amateurs who have voluntarily registered
their qualifications and equipment for communications duty in
public service when a disaster strikes. Every amateur, whether or
not a member of ARRL or any other local or national organization is
eligible for membership in ARES. The only qualification is an
amateur radio license and a desire to serve. New members can
register for the West or Northwest Riverside County ARES districts,
depending on your location at ARESDB.COM. You can also join by
clicking on the “Register with ARES” button on our website at
ARESWRC.ORG.
