| Want to follow along
with the CARC NET logins real-time and begin to learn all
the names, callsigns, and QTH locations? Download the
Netlogger program from the Netlogger
website, and install it. If
you want to log a net yourself, then you need to download
the club
member list provided by KE4TLC,
Dion, and unzip it into the C:\Program Files\N1HWQ\Net
Logger folder where you installed the program. Then
in the menu under "Setup" / "Club Profile",
select CARC.prf. When the net starts, you can run the
program and click the "Nets Online" button,
then connect to the CARC net. Sally KG4NWS and Kevin KA4NWS have posted a Netlogger help page here: http://ka4nws.tripod.com/netloggerhelp.html
If you are interested in becoming a CARC affiliated Net Control, please contact Brian Smith KI4PTM. |

| These nets begin at 8:30 PM (on 147.330 +600 T 156.7) and usually last about 45 minutes. Sometimes a few of us linger after the net to chat on the repeater or jump to a simplex frequency and practice our communication skills. Sometimes we move on to a quiet spot in the 6 or 10 meter band. Join us! |
All CARC repeaters require a PL tone of 156.7Hz
for access.
The system consists of the following repeaters listed East to
West:
| Fort Jackson(I-20 / I-77 Corridor) | 146.775 repeater | -600khz input |
| Columbia Metro | 147.330 repeater | +600khz input |
| West Columbia (courtesy of KE4IFI) | 145.270 repeater | -600khz input |
All amateur radio operators with the privileges to operate on these frequencies are encouraged to check in to the CARC Nets at least monthly. Your participation is vital and provides communications training for future emergencies. All local amateur radio operators are encouraged to monitor the CARC Repeaters while traveling in the area so out of town hams might be assisted if needed.
In the event of threatening weather or other emergency situations being declared or undeclared, the regular nets will be suspended until the threatening weather or the emergency has cleared the area or has been resolved. The Columbia Amateur Radio Repeater System serves as the backup repeater for the Midlands SKYWARN Region and may be called into use during a weather incident. ARES/RACES use our repeaters during drills and incidents.
