Our weekly net is held every Tuesday at 7:00 PM EST on the WB9AGX repeater on 147.390 with a PL tone of 131.8. All amateur radio operators are welcome to participate.

Siren Test Net

Siren test Nets have resumed and occur monthly on the first Thursday. The net will begin around 11:30 AM EST on the WB9AGX repeater on 147.390 with a PL tone of 131.8. We encourage all amateurs to check-in and report if they hear the sirens or not. It helps to know the siren number or general location when reporting. It also helps to have reports from family members as well. If you can not check but heard ot did not hear the sirens.
We will forward any reports received to the county EMA. Click below to send a Siren Report.

Lights of Liberty

An All American Christmas

What is Lights of Liberty?

Lights of Liberty is a community fundraiser presented by the North Liberty Area Chamber of Commerce and powered by local sponsors and volunteers. Inspired by those “Hallmark-movie” hometown celebrations, we’re transforming the Stellar Trail at North Liberty Elementary into a twinkling winter walk.

How will Amateur Radio volunteers improve the event?

We will be focused on relaying information and trail safety. We also are planning on a unique Mesh-based solution similar to Santa Net to help create a magical experience for children.

Please join us and help grow our Amateur Radio community!
