National Night Out begins Tuesday, August 5th, 2025!

NYC ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) will be hosting a check-in net, in support of National Night Out Against Crime, on Tuesday August 5th. It’s designed to showcase our ability to communicate across agencies and jurisdictions.

Any group at one of the night’s events can check in, and also any ham at an event can check in. You can check in at either the 7 PM or 8 PM time slots. Check-in for both, if you’d like!

NYC ARES will be providing net control functions, and the Glen Oaks Amateur Radio Club (KE2ECF) will be hosting our net control station. This will be either at their base or remote site at one of the events that night.

Both on air check-ins (7 PM and 8 PM) will be on the LIMARC repeater system (plus Echolink). Check-ins will also be accepted via the Glen Oaks club Winlink email (ke2ecf@winlink.org) that afternoon and evening. Winlink check-ins are between 12 Noon and 9 PM.
