| Want to follow along with the CARC NET logins real-time and begin to learn all the names, callsigns, and QTH locations? Download the Netlogger program from the Netlogger website, and install it. If you want to log a net yourself, then you need to download the club member list provided by KE4TLC, Dion, and unzip it into the C:\Program Files\N1HWQ\Net Logger folder where you installed the program. Then in the menu under "Setup" / "Club Profile", select CARC.prf. When the net starts, you can run the program and click the "Nets Online" button, then connect to the CARC net. |

| These nets begin at 8:30 PM (on 147.330 +600 T 156.7) and usually last about 45 minutes. Sometimes a few of us linger after the net to chat on the repeater or jump to a simplex frequency and practice our communication skills. Sometimes we move on to a quiet spot in the 6 or 10 meter band. Join us! |

All CARC repeaters require a PL tone of 156.7Hz for access.
The system consists of the following repeaters listed East to West:
| Fort Jackson(I-20 / I-77 Corridor) | 146.775 repeater | -600khz input |
| Columbia Metro | 147.330 repeater | +600khz input |

All amateur radio operators with the privileges to operate on these frequencies
are encouraged to check in to the CARC Nets at least monthly. Your participation
is vital and provides communications training for future emergencies.
All local amateur radio operators are encouraged to monitor the CARC Repeaters while
traveling in the area so out of town hams might be assisted if needed. Please contact
Brian KI4PTM if you are interested in becoming a CARC affiliated Net Control .
In the event of threatening weather or other emergency situations being declared
or undeclared, the regular nets will be suspended until the threatening weather
or the emergency has cleared the area or has been resolved. The Columbia Amateur
Radio Repeater System serves as the backup repeater for the Midlands SKYWARN Region
and it may be called into use during a weather incident. ARES/RACES use our
repeaters during drills and incidents.
