Winchester, Frederick County, Virinia ARES (WINFRED ARES) supports Emergency Management for both the City of Winchester, and Frederick County, Virginia and other county organizations with backup communications.

We currently run a Simplex Net on 146.580 Simplex on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month at 8:00 PM. All amateur radio operators are welcome to check in to the net. The net is an oppertunity for operators to test their equipment without utilizing repeaters in the event repeaters are unavailable during an emergency. Feel free to check out the NETS page for any future ARES nets as well as a resource to other local NETS that may be of interest.
