A note about ARES nets: The Amateur Radio Emergency Service is often activated during severe weather conditions in the West Texas and Permian Basin area. This net is typically coordinated by David Overton [KF5WDJ] and uses the WTC (West Texas Connection) series of linked repeaters. However, at this time the WTC has been suffering maintenance issues and has difficulty maintaining link cohesion. Although a true emergency situation strongly relies on the reliability of true RF communication, it may be necessary to use an alternative. The PermNet series of linked repeaters relies on an IP connection over the internet to maintain communication. So if internet connectivity were lost so would communications. However in the face of intermittent or otherwise failed RF coms over the WTC, this alternative is better than nothing. It has also been suggested, for the sake of practicing the ARES methodology and protocols, that the PermNet be used instead of the WTC until which time the WTC is repaired. This has not been adopted as a standard practice yet.
