NATIONWIDE Emergency Operations Frequencies (Including Misc. Emergency, NTS and SATERN Nets)

Transcription

1 NATIONWIDE Emergency Operations Frequencies (Including Misc. Emergency, NTS and SATERN Nets) This is a list that Ham s should be aware of. It can help to keep you better informed and AVOID ANY POTENTIAL INADVERTENT INTERFERENCE. During the time(s) that these frequencies are in EMERGENCY operations it is suggested that they be given 5 KHz spacing on either side I would like to thank all of the Section Managers, Section Emergency Coordinators and all others that gave their time and participated in the research and listing of these Emergency frequencies. Tom, K5WTH INDEX: I. ARRL Sections Emergency Frequencies. II. Emergency Nets. III. SATERN Frequencies. IV. NTS Regional and Area Nets. V. ARRL W1AW EMERGENCY FREQUENCY USAGE: Section wide coverage during an emergency is normally maintained using frequencies on 75 or 40 meter side-band. While nets, whether HF or above, typically operate on known frequencies they do not own the frequency and may be found up or down the band a few khz. The Net Control operator on duty will decide whether to keep the net on its current frequency, or to move up or down a few khz to avoid interference. However, if it becomes desirable to move the net to another band, the Net Manager and SEC on duty at the time decides whether to move the net and if so, to what band, frequency, and mode. The manager, after consulting with the SEC, may also opt for running simultaneous sessions on two bands at once. Section HF net frequencies may be used in an emergency at any time by ARES members or officials consistent with other emergency communications that may be in progress on the frequency. Use of the net frequency is not the same thing as establishing an emergency net. When a local or District ARES official begins emergency use of an HF frequency, the SEC and Net Manager should be notified immediately by radio or landline. The SEC may, or may not, designate an ad hoc net as an emergency circuit at his/her discretion. The SEC or his designee will promptly notify the Section Manager, Net Manager and STM of any formal activation of the Section Emergency net on an NTS net frequency. All listings are subject to change, +/-, due to band conditions.
