About the NWCV Net

Welcome to the Northwest Cache Valley Net online presence!

First, a little bit about the origins of the net:

In conjunction with the Great Utah Shake Out observed each April in Utah, the Cache County ARES organization holds an amateur radio net to test emergency communication in the valley. After listening to the April 2021 net, another local amateur operator and I visited about what we heard, noting the lack of representation at the City/Town Emergency Operation Center level from our northwest section of the valley.

As a result of continued discussion, it was decided we would start an amateur radio net based on the geography of northwest Cache Valley - specifically the communities of Amalga, Benson, Clarkston, Cornish, Newton and Trenton - to help interested persons in this region practice radio communication and coordination with the goal that we will be prepared to communicate our needs to the Cache County EOC or Bishops Storehouse in the event of an emergency.

Our inaugural net was held Sunday, May 16, 2021 at 8:00 p.m. over the simplex frequency 146.550, with consecutive net meetings held once a month on the 3rd Sunday of at 8:00 p.m. 

We invite all amateur operators residing in the Northwest Cache Valley area to join in fellowship and training.

On this site you will be able to review the monthly training topics, organized as individual posts  in the directory located to the right of the page, as well as other informational announcements relative to the function of the net.
