Remember: radio work is more than merely “hobby”, and certainly not to be dismissed as only “for old men”, it’s for everyone. It’s a community extension, providing a community service and connection. Not just for emergencies, but interconnectivity, and vital communication.

Happening soon: the SWCRS weekly net begins in 10 minutes with early check ins. Tune in! #gmrs #net.

FYI. We don’t anticipate any effects on the SWCRS network due to the solar activity, however the HF bands will almost certainly be effected.

After some much needed rest and relaxation, the Sandia 675 simulcast system is feeling much better. All systems are back to normal. Thanks for your patience.

[Southwest Community Radio System @SWCRS_radio]

Albuquerque area users: The Sandia 675 simulcast system has temporarily fallen ill and is in stand-alone mode. The East Mountain Canyon 700 repeater remains fully functional and linked.

In case you missed it, the Rio Chama near Chamita rose above Action Stage early this morning and is expected to remain above Action Stage through next week. Elevated and cold water flows are due to snow melt. A Flood Advisory remains in effect for the area. #nmwx
