ARES NETS

This page summarizes the various nets that are in use throughout CT.   A radio net is an "on-the-air" gathering of amateur radio operators.  Most nets convene on a regular schedule and specific frequency, and are organized for a particular purpose, such as relaying messages, discussing a common topic of interest, in severe weather (for example, during a Skywarn activation), emergencies, or simply as a regular gathering of friends for conversation.
