AuxComm

About Us
  • The purpose and mission of AuxComm is to provide reliable alternate communications support for Warren County Telecommunications. Members volunteer their services for the purpose of supporting auxiliary communications for Emergency Management.
  • Warren County AuxComm is made up of ham radio operators with a demonstrated understanding of communication technology. To be an effective member of the Warren County AuxComm Unit, members need to have a basic level of proficiency with electrical, electronic and RF technology concepts.
  • The membership criteria are based on the understanding, and practical implementation of concepts presented in the Amateur Radio Technical Class license requirements.
In Person Meetings
  • Warren County AuxComm is not a ham radio club and as such does not have a regular public meeting time and location. See the “Get Involved” section for more information about how you can become a part of AuxComm. Members are provided with information on activities, meetings and training.
On the Air

  • We host several repeaters within Warren County.
  • Training nets occur on the 2nd and 4th Mondays at 8:30pm on the Primary repeater.
  • We encourage all hams in and around Warren County to program our basic band plan into their radio so we can communicate easily when working together for any reason. Our band plan is name and channel based and is listed below.
