SKYWARN

Nestled in the high country of Northern Arizona, at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, Flagstaff, Arizona is home to the Coconino Amateur Radio Club (CARC). The CARC includes members in the city of Flagstaff, Coconino County and much of Northern Arizona. We meet monthly on the second Thursday of every month at the Law Enforcement Administration Facility (LEAF), 911 E. Sawmill Rd. at 7 p.m. (1900). Visitors are always welcome. Coconino Amateur Radio Club is a public service oriented club, providing communications services for local volunteer agencies and events.

We strongly endorse community readiness and preparedness to deal with emergencies and disasters. To that end we host the following activities:

Skywarn Net :

The Northern Arizona Skywarn Net is conducted every Monday night at 7 p.m. We practice and prepare to pass weather reports and monitor and act on calls for assistance during inclement weather. This net is conducted in conjunction with the Flagstaff National Weather Service. Further Skywarn info can be found at: CARC SKYWARN

Ares Net:

In conjunction with the Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) we conduct a roll call every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. to practice reporting and relaying information during times of emergency and disaster. Here are links for communications logs to be used for ARES Nets:
ARES Communications Log (Landscape) ARES Communications Log (Portrait)

Both of these nets are held on the ARA repeater, we are privileged to be using, located on Mount Elden, frequency 146.980 with a negative offset and a pl tone of 162.2 In the event of repeater failure the nets will be conducted 146.980 simplex, with close in stations relaying for outlying stations. Visitors and newcomers to the area are always welcome and strongly encouraged to participate in both of these nets.

CARC recognizes that the recruiment and training of new amateur radio operators is the lifeblood of amateur radio. CARC conducts classes for Technician and General Class Licenses and offers training manuals available at a discount.
