District Nets and Frequencies

For each district in the Colorado section in which there is an active ARES group, there will be a regular net. The official list of nets in the Colorado section is maintained by the SEC and the COPLAN publisher in Appendix C of the COPLAN.

The COPLAN frequency lists (Appendix B and C) are updated quarterly. If you know of a net that has recently changed, please send the corrected information to:

the SEC and
the COPLAN publisher

so the information can be made available to all.
