Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES®)


Hannibal ARES Net

The Hannibal ARES® Net is held each Monday evening starting at 8 PM CT on the 146.625 repeater, followed by the 146.880 repeater.


A roll-call is performed, and all club members are encouraged to join and check in. Following the roll call, other stations are encouraged to check in with the net as well. You do NOT need to be a member of the club to participate. The nets are open to any licensed ham operator.


We are always looking for stations who would be interested in functioning as a Net Control station.

If you are interested, contact Don Vary KDØHHN (Emergency Coordinator - Marion County MO) at (573)719-9002 or email kd0hhn@hotmail.com

    When All Else Fails®

    Amateur radio operators use their training, skills, and equipment to provide communications during emergencies When All Else Fails®. Hams serve our communities when storms or other disasters damage critical communication infrastructure, including cell towers, and wired and wireless networks. Amateur radio can function completely independently of the internet and phone systems. An amateur radio station can be set up almost anywhere in minutes. Hams can quickly raise a wire antenna in a tree or on a mast, connect it to a radio and power source, and communicate effectively with others.
