Net Information
Gwinnett ARES holds weekly training and information nets on the Gwinnett Amateur Radio Society 2 meter repeater every Monday night beginning at 8:15pm local time. The net operates on 147.075 MHz(+) with a PL tone of 82.5. The Net Control Station (NCS) and Alternate NCS and Digital NCS stations volunteer their time to practice.

The VHF voice net begins with voice check-ins followed by a digital net following the voice net at 2045. The digital net will utilize one digital mode for 2 weeks rotating among FLdigi, Winlink and D-RATS. Check the googlesheet below for digital mode.

Emergency nets, either SKYWARN or for other emergency situations, can be activated at any time when the need arises. Severe weather nets are always activated when a severe warning, such as a severe thunderstorm warning or tornado warning, is issued by the National Weather Service. Emergency nets should only be activated by the Emergency Coordinator, the Net Manager or one of the Assistant ECs. However, if none are available and an emergency situation exists, any member may activate a net.
