Overview

National Radio Emergency Network (NREN) is designed to provide a 24-hour emergency communications capability for fixed, portable, or mobile stations. In particular, NREN is designed to facilitate quick and efficient message delivery at times when scheduled nets are not in session or when traffic must quickly flow outside the service area of a scheduled net, such as during an emergency operation.

Primary Callup Frequencies:
40 Meters 7050 KHz
20 Meters 14050 KHz
30 Meters 10115 KHz

In order to facilitate interoperability between multiple stations, adjacent channels should be selected based on the “rule of 3.” That is, move up or down 3, 6, 9, or 12 kHz from the primary channel. This same rule applies to traffic exchange off frequency.

Purpose

The purpose of NREN is to provide quick message delivery and origination links between High Frequency equipped radio operators and such resources as the Internet, public switched telephone network, and related systems.  NREN facilities may also be utilized to establish point-to-point circuits between NTS networks operating at the Section level when delays may not be tolerated.

Supported Agency

Agencies supported by NREN may include Federal, State, and local emergency management agencies, SATERN organizations, local Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES)/Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) programs, as well as individual radio amateurs.
