Net frequency changes

[mbbelling]

Jackson County ARES members:

There are a couple of important net frequency changes of which all Jackson County ARES members should be aware. 

First and effective immediately, the Jackson County ARES net will operate on the 146.37/97 MHz. repeater as the primary repeater for Jackson County ARES. That repeater currently is carrier access. The reason for the change is because the 147.270 MHz. repeater ceased operation as of today. I urge you all to join the Jackson County ARES net on its regularly scheduled net at nine o'clock on Saturday morning. Help us determine the repeater coverage with your check-in. If you can't join us on the net, take the time at your convenience to QSO with someone on the repeater so you will know how well you get into the repeater from the various two-meter transmitters you may have.

Secondly and also effective immediately, the frequency for the SKYWARN net when it is in operation has changed to the 146.10/70 MHz. repeater. The repeater normally requires a 107.2 Hz. CTCSS access tone, but the repeater may be capable of allowing carrier access during SKYWARN operations. The reasons for the SKYWARN repeater change are unclear to me.
