The state wide SARNET (Statewide Amateur Radio Networking in Florida) on 70cm FM is a network of linked repeaters all over FL.

They activate for weather emergencies such as hurricane Idalia.

The SARNET home page is here with frequencies and locations.

You can listen to them on your 70cm FM radio or HT (depending on where you are you may need a longer antenna.

We have two SARNET repeaters in our area:

    Andytown is on 442.825MHz

    Ft. Lauderdale is on 442.850MHz

Other areas: here's link to a state wide map

Please listen only, this network is not intended for rag chewing, use the DCARC repeaters for that.

It will become more active as the storm approaches landfall. Don't give up listening if it is quiet for a while.
