Cheyenne Marathon - September 23, 2018
This year's Cheyenne Marathon is going to be HUGE and the folks up north have put out a call for assistance from available radio operators to make it a success. Just like the Fort Collins Marathon is not an ARES event, neither will this be. However, the event covers a large geographic area and runs through some interesting locations making communications difficult and as such will be right up our alley. This will also give us the opportunity to work with the folks in an adjoining district and develop relationships now when conditions are less stressful so that if mutual aid needs to happen in the future under less favorable circumstances we'll already be familiar with the operators and methods of that district. It's a win - win! We get to meet new folks, play radio in a challenging scenario, and call it training all at the same time! So, if you have any availability on 23SEP18, please contact R. J. Bragg (WY7AA), at (307) 316-2381 or by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Channel Utilization Updated!!
The latest version of the Colorado ARES Region 3 District 2 Channel Utilization is live and posted throughout the website where you're used to seeing it, as well as below along with a CHIRP file for your convenience.
Channel Utilization v4.3c (PDF)
This version is very similar to the prior version. The only difference is the repeaters assigned as backups for the operations and resource nets, and the removal of the repeater at channel 18 (all later channels retain their numbers).
