We Communicate Where Others Cannot
Welcome to Santa Fe ARES!
We are a group of amateur radio operators who enjoy learning, working, and experimenting with communication technologies. We volunteer our expertise and equipment to serve various city and county agencies and Santa Fe City and County Emergency Management in times of emergency. We enjoy practicing our skills at all manor of events from road races to hospital emergency drills.

Voice Net
The Santa Fe ARES FM VHF voice nets are held at 8:00 PM MT on the Tuesday prior to the third Saturday of a month. Santa Fe ARES monthly meetings usually are on the third Saturday of the month.
Several 2-meter repeaters may be used for the net. The repeater choice is determined by the Net Control operator and current status of the repeaters.
A prepared script is available for the Net Control operator to help facilitate the net.
For the remainder of 2025 the Tuesday FM VHF Nets are on:
November 11
December 16
Net Control operators are needed and this provides an opportunity for SF ARES members to develop and polish their operating skills. Let me know if you will serve as Net Control for any of the dates listed above. I will be glad to assist with radio checks, improving your station, and practicing.
Thank you,
