Mission Statement for ALERT

The goal of ALERT Altadena Local Emergency Radio Team is to facilitate radio communications throughout Altadena and surrounding communities before, during and after a community-wide crisis. ALERT members volunteer their radio experience and training with Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Neighborhood Watch programs, the Altadena Sheriff’s Station, Map Your Neighborhood (MYN), Red Cross, Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), Disaster Communications Service (DCS), and National Traffic System (NTS).

MONDAY NIGHT NET

ALERT radio operators and any licensed amateur radio operator meet on the air every Monday evening at 8:00pm Pacific Time. This two-meter net is conducted on the local Telephone Company (TELCO) repeater W6MPH at 145.180 MHz (-600 kHz offset) PL 156.7

When the TELCO repeater is not available ALERT will often use  Simplex 2-meter band

Email K8NBD@ARRL.net for other simplex frequencies used during our emergency radio communication practice sessions. You will then be added to our active radio team list. Give your first name, call sign and city (usual check-in location).
