DADEVILLE 444.425 MHz Repeater

The Dadeville 70CM repeater was mentioned during the ARES net on Sunday August 16th. This repeater is maintained by Mr. Danny Lloyd – KB4MDD of the Eagle Creek Amateur Radio Club. Mr. Danny lives in the Dadeville area. I’ve used the repeater sparingly myself, and it is listed as “Open”, so I suppose infrequent use of it would be okay. I would caution that I believe that it is linked with some other repeaters in that area, so it might be unwise to add it to our ARES net list. We certainly don’t want to impose on the good folks around the lake up there. We might want them to take us fishing sometime. In any event, here are the particulars:

Downlink 444.52500

Uplink 449.52500

Offset +5.000

Uplink Tone 146.2

Downlink Tone 146.2

Power 100 watts

EIRP 400 watts

DMR

Emergency power equipped

ALABAMA SIMULATED EMERGENCY TEST ("SET") 2026 - INFO

Information describing the 2026 Simulated Emergency Test or "SET" is now on hand.  Thanks to Mike Watkins - WX4AL (SET Coordinator, AL Section Assistant Section EC) we are making this information available now to all amateur radio operators on our mailing list whether members of the Club or not. We need your help to make this the most successful instance of participation in the SET that has ever occurred by the amateurs of our area.  This is a high bar since this area has done quite well in the past.  We have some big shoes to step into.
