Salem CERT Ham Net
The next check-in is scheduled for the First Sunday of each month, at 4:30 PM. We will be operating on the frequency of 146.580 Mhz (simplex). A Net Control Operator will be running the session, so please remember to wait for instructions before transmitting. This helps to ensure a smooth and orderly check-in for everyone. While not required, it is hoped that many of the check-ins will take place from your local/assigned cache, using the ham radio in the cache when possible.
Attached here is the current Salem CERT check-in script and cache list for the net.
