• 146.88 - Primary repeater for State EOC, SKYWARN.

When operational, the State EOC will monitor 146.88 for traffic from any counties within range, or on the PCRN linking system.  The State EOC also monitors 3923 kHz (the Tarheel Net) for traffic from stations that can not reach the EOC via repeaters.  In addition, Central Carolina SKYWARN conducts its nets on 146.88, and Wake County ARES conducts its regular Thursday evening net on 146.88 at 9:00 pm.

If 146.88 fails or is unavailable, the backup is 145.39 (82.5 tone).  All operators should switch to 145.39 without further direction.

Below is a list of repeaters that have significant coverage in Wake County, and may be used at any time for emergency operations.  We recommend that you program all these repeaters in memory for all radios you may use with ARES.  For a broader list of area repeaters, consult the RARS web page, and the SERA Repeater Journal.

A MAP of these repeaters is on-line, courtesy of Paul Bohne AG4OO.  This map works best with Internet Explorer, You can see it OK with Netscape, but the data on the left side of the map doesn't pop up (Java conflict).

We appreciate the repeater resources that are made available to us, and we thank the club and individual repeater owners.  All the listed repeaters are open for all Amateur use, including emergencies.    We will conduct routiune nets and drills only on repeaters whose owners have agreed to that use.

If you would like a formal ARES agreement, e-mail N4TAB.
