BCAREC Announcement:
Meetings and nets have been suspended until further notice.
If you would like to participate in the monthly Tornado Siren observations the first Wednesday of each month in support of the Butler County Sheriff's Office 911 center contact us at:
bcarec@gmail.com
Please provide a good email address (for reminder notifications & assignments), Full name and call sign (for the roster), street address (so we can find a siren close to where you live), cellphone number and the carrier/provider for emergency activation of amateur radio and siren test cancellations (normally due to weather conditions). Thank You!
We are in need of additional volunteers to help monitor the Butler County Weather Sirens the first Wednesday of each month! If you would like to participate in this program, please send us an email to: bcarec@gmail.com
Include all of your contact information, Name, call sign, home address, cell phone number and the carrier. The test are held on the first Wednesday of the month each month.
We begin calling for check ins to the net at 11:50 A.M. and the sirens normally sound by 12:00:00 noon.
Most run for three minutes before shutting down. All we need to know is if it in fact worked, if it is NOT a fixed siren how many rotations did it make, the start time and stop time according to your cell phone time. The net usually ends around 12:10 P.M. and operators that do volunteer are released to go about their daily business.
If you or someone you know would like to help out, please forward their information to us at the email address above.
Thank You!
