NEVADA DEM / CARSON CITY DEMARC/AUXCOMM
NV7EM WEDNESDAY NETS
Carson City DEMARC welcomes any and all check-ins on Wednesday mornings according to the schedule below.
Your choice, any or all.
These NETs are open to any and all Amateur Radio Operators that would like to participate, from anywhere, except the statewide Emergency Services Net, which is a Directed Net.
The NV7EM weekly COMMEX is designed to achieve testing of fixed and mobile communication stations and interoperability capabilities of various agencies and organizations to prepare for emergency response, locally, regionally, and nationally. In other words, we want to be sure that you can communicate with us via ALL modes available to us and you. There is no specific protocol, just check in with your name, call sign and location.
Our VHF net starts at 0930 and runs to 0945.
The Fusion net takes check-ins every Wednesday morning between 0915 and 0930.
Then we take check-ins via the DMR Nevada Talk Group (3132) from 0930 to 0945.
At 0815 we operate the Nevada Statewide Emergency Services Net on 7.280 MHz.
This is a directed net for Emergency Agencies, Operations Centers, Authorized Partners, and official relay stations in all Nevada counties.
At 1000 we participate in the CalOES HF Net which runs until around 1045.
We check in to the FEMA Region X FNARS net via voice, text and phone patch.
We also operate a statewide County/Public Safety net on the 800 MHz NSRS radio system.
If you're not presently using Winlink, it's very easy to download and set up.
