Peach County Amateur Radio Emergency Service
Peach County Amateur Radio Emergency Service
The
The Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES) consists of licensed amateurs who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment, with their local ARES leadership, for communications duty in the public service when disaster strikes.
The Peach County Amateur Radio Emergency Service brings hams in and around Peach County together for fellowship,
as a place where our residents that are interested in ham radio
can learn more about the hobby and means for them to obtain
their FCC license and a training mechanism for emergency
preparedness that we radio amateurs may better serve our
community.
The Peach County repeater is open to all licensed amateurs, the
repeater call-sign WX4PCH operates independently but is
part of the Peach State Intertie System, a member of the Georgia SKYWARN network which links repeaters
across middle Georiga. The intertie system is generally used
in the event of threatening weather and the Peach County repeater
is linked to the intertie for several nets listed below. The repeater is located in Powersville just north of the junction of GA49 and the 247 Connector, 32.611427N 83.79287W. This repeater and all the repeaters on the Peach State Intertie are maintained by the skill and devotion of WB4NFG and K4DBN and others to include the executive oversight of WA4FRI.
