    > - The West Gulf ARES Emergency Net: 7.285 MHz days/3.873 MHz nights
    > - Health and Welfare traffic: 7.290 MHz days/3.935 nights
    > - Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN): 14.265 MHz and
    7.265 MHz (as needed; reports indicate this frequency can vary somewhat,
    depending upon QRM)
    >
    > ARRL says to "give these nets as much elbow room as possible--5 kHz or
    more on either side of the net frequency". Whether a frequency is listed or
    not, take extra time to listen and be sure any frequency you use is clear of
    emergency or relief traffic.
