A weekly ARES® training net is held on the W4GGM repeater to practice the discipline of conducting and participating in a directed net. Secondly, there is also a weekly Winlink net conducted separately to practice for internet outage scenarios. On scheduled occasions this net will also incorporate practice in using backup simplex frequencies (first Sunday of each month), passing message traffic, etc. for the enhancement of emergency skills.
To supplement the weekly training net, several ARES® training/exercises are planned for 2025. Other events will be added so check back for updates.
