West
Central District Emergency Repeater The W4RAC
repeater, 146.955 MHz (-) tone 103.5 HZ, will be used as the
District Emergency Repeater during a declared event.
A NCS will be assigned to coordinate and handle
information and traffic into and out of the West Central
District. If this
repeater is down, the DEC will declare which working
repeater will be used as the District Emergency Repeater. |

The WCD has a “District Net” that is
held on the first Tuesday of each month starting at 7:00PM
local time. We will use the Citrus County Amateur Radio
Club’s repeater, W4CRA, on a frequency of 146.955MHz, tone
103.5. This net is basically for, but not
restricted to, the EC’s and AEC’s of our four counties. Each
county can give a short synopsis of activities, upgrades,
concerns and support of any problems. It is encouraged that
all ARES members listen to the net so they may know better
what is happening in our District. The District Net will be hosted by each
county on a preset rotating basis. For the year 2013 the Net
Control County will be as follows: Citrus host – Jan. 1st; May
7th; Sep. 3rd Marion host – Feb. 5th; Jun.
4th; Oct. 1st Sumter host – Mar. 5th; Jul.
2nd; Nov. 5th Hernando host – Apr. 2nd;
Aug. 6th; Dec. 3rd |
