We are proud to announce the activation of a new net called the Sam Houston Amateur Radio ARES/ Net. The net will meet every Thursday at 8:00pm or after the normal net if it runs long. This net will be for general discussion of the ARES and Skywarn related items. The Net will also be activated anytime there is a severe storm in our area for the purpose of tracking the storm and will serve to make reports to the National Weather Service if necessary. The net will be open to anyone wishing to participate in ARES, storm spotting/ reporting, and all weather related items.
