Siren Test Net
Siren test Nets have resumed and occur monthly on the first Thursday. The net will begin around 11:30 AM EST on the WB9AGX repeater on 147.390 with a PL tone of 131.8. We encourage all amateurs to check-in and report if they hear the sirens or not. It helps to know the siren number or
general location when reporting. It also helps to have reports from family members as well. If you can not check but heard ot did not hear the sirens.
We will forward any reports received to the county EMA. Click below to send a Siren Report.
Volunteers Needed for Iron Horse Festival
Hosted by LaSalle Council, Scouting America & Sakima Lodge, Order of the Arrow
Iron Horse Festival
at Potato Creek State Park
on October 17th, 2026
What is the Iron Horse event?
We are tentatively looking for volunteers to help guide kids (generally about 8-12 years old) on fox hunts, and provide kids an opportunity to talk on an HF radio. We will collaborate with a licensed amateur radio operator and a certified merit badge counselor to provide basic concepts of radio communications and then allow the kids to either fox hunt or talk on the radio. We will be trying to establish 2 fox transmitters for the event and encourage volunteers to bring tape measure Yagi antennas and a cheap radio you are comfortable with to help guide kids to the fox transmitter. Its a rewarding event that helps show both the youth and adults in the community that amateur radio is a healthy and growing community.

Lights of Liberty
An All American Christmas
What is Lights of Liberty?
Lights of Liberty is a community fundraiser presented by the North Liberty Area Chamber of Commerce and powered by local sponsors and volunteers. Inspired by those “Hallmark-movie” hometown celebrations, we’re transforming the Stellar Trail at North Liberty Elementary into a twinkling winter walk.

How will Amateur Radio volunteers improve the event?
We will be focused on relaying information and trail safety. We also are planning on a unique Mesh-based solution similar to Santa Net to help create a magical experience for children.
