SKYWARN, ARES and RACES frequencies used for nets as needed.
I recommend programming all these frequencies into your mobile and portable radios and scanning them for calls whenever possible.

* NOTE: Repeaters with one asterisk are linked to many other repeaters. Press PTT and wait 2 seconds before speaking to allow all linked repeaters to activate. Wait at least 5 seconds between transmissions to allow repeaters to reset. The ETECS and NCTC systems are often linked together during SKYWARN and Thursday 20:30 nets.

** NOTE #1: The ARES Field Resources Manual Appendix A Wilderness Protocol calls for hams in the wilderness to announce their presence on, and to monitor, the national calling frequencies for five minutes beginning at 07:00, 10:00, 13:00, 16:00, 19:00 while in the back country. A ham in a remote location may be able to relay emergency information through another wilderness ham who has better access to a repeater. National calling frequencies: 52.525, 146.52, 223.50, 446.00, 1294.50 MHz.
*** NOTE #2: The channels at 3.997 MHz and 53.30 MHz may be used in emergency areas when required to make initial contact with a military unit and for communications with military stations on matters requiring coordination.
I also recommend reading the Considerate Operator's Frequency Guide and familiarizing yourself with the "gentlemen's agreement" about use of frequency allocations.
