The AARC has acquired a 16 ft enclosed trailer for use as a mobile communications center. The trailer was purchased through a grant Received from CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams) by the Ascension Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. We are currently working towards outfitting the trailer with the necessary equipment to provide communications in the event of an emergency or natural disaster. Check out AARC  photos.

Most of you are aware that we experienced some technical difficulties with the 985 repeater. Thanks to our resident radio technician Jim, the problem was resolved. The repeater is now operating at full capacity. Go by and check it out. 146.985- with a 107.2 pl tone.

The new 225 is finally on the air at a permanent site!!  Check out the new 225 install photo gallery. The installation took place on Oct. 20, 2009. There to lend a hand was Chris Anderson, Jim Babin, and Greg Babin. AARC would like to thank Pat Doyle for his services. We have a video that will be shown at the next meeting.
