A HISTORY OF CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI ARES At that time K1REZ also established the weekly Central Mississippi ARES Training Net on the Pelahatchie Repeater (145.390 77Hz). He combined it with the Scott County ARES Net, which he had established ten years earlier, and which had been running non-stop on that same day, time, and frequency. Unlike the plethora of “Do Nothing” nets in Mississippi, where all folks do is check in and then the net closes, the focus of Central Mississippi ARES Training Net has always been to provide authentic training and hands-on practice in originating, copying, and passing NTS format messages. In the summer of 2020 K1REZ established the weekly Central Mississippi ARES Digital Training Net on the Pelahatchie Repeater (145.390 77Hz) to train ARES members in the use of NBEMS and Winlink for emergency communications. In August of 2020 Central Mississippi ARES and its nets successfully participated in the annual ARRL / ARES Simulated Emergency Test (SET), scoring very high points in the process. |
