Remember that a Winlink Net is NOT like a conventional net where all participants meet simultaneously. W8LRJ, John Westerkamp, Beavercreek, Greene, D3, OH (via 445.01 W8GCA-10 Gateway) When checking-in to the net, please use the following format: Callsign, Name, City, County, ARES District, State, and How Connected (Frequency and Callsign of Winlink gateway or Telnet). You can learn about Winlink and download the free software here. Both sites provide coverage over most of the Miami Valley.
Note that District 3 also supports two additional Winlink gateways: a packet Winlink gateway at KD3WCO-10 145.010 MHz simplex and a VARA 9600 FM Winlink gateway at 145.030 MHz simplex. All messages will be acknowledged the next day. To join the GCARES Winlink Net, just send a Winlink message to W8LRJ using a local Winlink RMS gateway such as the GCARES gateway at W8GCA-10 445.010 MHz simplex, an HF gateway, or via Winlink Telnet any time on Tuesdays between 6 am and 9 pm. (The Greene County DMR repeater is N8NQH 444.8750(+), Color Code 13, and uses Timeslot 1 for the Ohio Statewide Talk Group 3139.) The Ohio Section ARES DMR Net is a digital voice net at 8:30 pm every Monday on the Ohio Statewide Talk Group 3139. The District 3 ARES Training Net can be heard at 8 pm Wednesdays on the West Central Ohio WC8OH Repeater 145.110(-) (67.0 Hz tone) except on the third Wednesday of the month when it moves to the Miamisburg Wireless Association WA8PLZ repeater 146.820(-) (77.0 Hz tone). The GCARES Digital Training Net typically uses the MT63-2KL digital mode (1500 Hz offset) which is a part of the Fldigi software suite that can be found here. Net Control Stations are reminded to submit the GCARES Net Control Log to the EC after each net.ĭigital Net Control Station (NCS): William Curtice, WA8APB
The script for the net can be found here. If you would like try being a Net Control Station, please contact Lyle Steinhardt. You don’t have to be a GCARES member to participate, but we encourage you to join so that your participation will be logged to your callsign. On the 4th Tuesday of every month, the nets will move to the GCARES 440 repeater to allow us to train and test regularly on that repeater, too. The GCARES Voice Net can be heard on the GCARES 2m repeater at 9:00 pm on Tuesdays followed immediately by the Digital Training Net. Please let us know of any changes or errors. More nets will be added as we confirm them and we will attempt to keep this information up to date.
GCARES urges all members to check into nets whenever possible. Nets offer a good way to test equipment and to gain experience in good operating practices.
