On March 17, 2020, The St. Cloud Amateur Radio Club started the Central MN Emergency Communications Welfare Net on our 147.015 Emergency Communications Repeater. Our goal was simple — to check on the current Welfare and Emergency needs of Anyone within reach of the repeater. For the most part, everyone was fine, but we did have a few issues where SCARC was able to provide assistance We ran that net for 501 consecutive days with over 9000 Check-Ins. After 501 days, we felt that the “climate” had healed itself a bit, and that the Net was no longer needed.

But, in these current unsettled times, we see the need again. Starting, tonight 11/26/2021 @ 7:00 PM, we will start it up again on a daily basis. Please join us to simply let us know if you are doing Ok, and if you have any Emergency Needs that we may be able to assist with.
