5 New Sunday Night Net at 7:00 pm to start November 6 th 2016 Hosted by Michael KF7SYS for AmRRon AmRRon The American Redoubt Radio Operators Net AMRRON MISSION STATEMENT We are committed to maintaining a continental network of radio operators for disaster response and civil defense, always ready to serve our communities, our states, our nation and our fellow countrymen with unconventional communications in times of need. ABOUT Founded in 2011, AmRRON was originally created as a communications network to keep communities and states within the American Redoubt connected in the event of a major disaster situation, or socioeconomic collapse. Within a year, over half the members consisted of those living outside the American Redoubt. AmRRON has now grown to nearly two thousand radio operators, with members in every state, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. In January, 2014, AmRRON merged with TAPRN, making it the largest conservative mostly-christian radio network outside of a faith-based organizational structure (such as Salvation Army and LDS). AmRRON is a network of former & retired Military, Law Enforcement, and trained civic minded citizens who have volunteered to keep each other connected when other means of communications are unavailable or unreliable. AmRRON operators participate in scheduled nets to practice using nonconventional communications, checking their equipment and establishing relays where needed. Although, AmRRON has interoperability with other preparedness networks, we strongly encourage other communications teams to develop their own communications plans in the event that AmRRON becomes disrupted or experiences equipment failures. Example of groups who have AmRRON operators as an integrated part of their disaster/preparedness plans: Community Preparedness Networks Prepper Groups Patriot Organizations Families and Individuals Church-operated disaster preparedness teams Various ARES & RACES groups Ham clubs 5
