Alabama ARES
Welcome to the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) for the Alabama Section
of the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL).
Every licensed amateur, regardless of membership in the ARRL or any other local or national
organization is eligible to apply for membership in ARES. Training may be required or
desired to participate fully in ARES. Please inquire at the local level for specific information.
Because ARES is an Amateur Radio program, only licensed radio amateurs are eligible for
membership. The possession of emergency-powered equipment is desirable, but is not a
requirement for membership.
ALABAMA ARES HF NET
The Alabama ARES Net is held every Sunday at 2100Z. From the Spring time change to the Fall time change
(summer) - 7243khz LSB. From the Fall time change to the Spring time change (winter)- 3965khz LSB. The
ARES Digital Net is held on Sundays at 2030Z on 7100khz USB (summer) or 3570khz USB (winter) using PSK31
and WINLINK2000. Using WL2K, just connect to an RMS on HF and send WX4AL "at" WINLINK "dot" org a message
any time during the day of the net. During the Net, we also use APRS (WX4AL-1) and D-Rats on the
drats.auburn.edu reflector.
After the HF Net, we continue the net on Alabama's new dedicated D-Star Reflector 058B located in Auburn, AL.
