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.

Order Of Events :

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!

General

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
West Columbia (courtesy of KE4IFI) 145.270 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 Dion KE4TLC 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 August be called into use during a weather incident. ARES/RACES use our repeaters during drills and incidents.
