Central MN Emergency Communications
Welfare Net Returns 11/26/2021 @ 7:00 PM

Posted on by scarc

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.
