Nationwide Standardized Amateur Radio Prepper Frequencies
by Travis
Catastrophe Network and The American Preparedness Radio Network (TAPRN) have teamed up to create a Standardized Amateur Radio Prepper Communications Plan. This plan outlines a standard set of frequencies that should be used by all preppers following a catastrophic disaster. These frequencies will serve as a meeting point where information about the event can be shared and actions between like minded preppers can be communicated.
This plan will not and cannot work if it is not widely publicized in the prepper community! All preppers must know and understand these frequencies in order for them to become common meeting points. This is your call to action, if you are a licensed Amateur Radio operator and a prepper, please spread the word about this new communications plan. Tweet about it, blog about it, and most of all…share the document!

http://www.catastrophenetwork.org/wp-con...1-2011.pdf
The following are the frequencies that have been designated by Catastrophe Network and the The American Preparedness Radio Network (TAPRN):
80 Meters – 3.818 MHz LSB (TAPRN Net: Sundays at 9 PM ET)
40 Meters – 7.242 MHz LSB
40 Meters Digital – 7.073 MHz USB PSK-31 (TAPRN Net: Sundays at 7:30 PM ET)
20 Meters – 14.242 MHz USB
2 Meters – 146.420 MHz FM
Aside from the TAPRN nets held on 3.818 and their digital net on 7.073, formal prepper nets will not be held on these frequencies. However, future exercises and drills may be held on-air between preppers and preppers are encouraged to use these frequencies to coordinate activities. Along the same lines, during catastrophes, it is unlikely that a formal net control will be established. The Standardized Amateur Radio Prepper Communications Plan outlines protocols for calling and communicating with other preppers.

COMMUNICATIONS PLAN (for Preppers & Redoubters)
CH-3 - TAPRN - AmRRON
As with all survival/prepper/Redoubt communications, the below programs are for making initial contact or for monitoring for news and information across the Radio Net. For individual group communications or "side-issue" chatting, move to another frequency to keep the net open for others. We encourage you to form a separate, private communication plan within your own local group, but always keep the below-outlined commo plans available for standardized communications for ALL preppers or Redoubters.
CH-3: Channel - 3. For CB, FRS/GMRS, and MURS Radios.
Specifically designed as a standardized plan to keep local preppers connected, whether you're a Ham radio operator or not. Licensing is NOT required to use these communications devices. In an emergency, switch to Channel 3 of your CB Radio, FRS/GMRS Radios, or MURS Radios to get hold of other Preppers and Redoubters. This is not used on a daily basis. It is for making initial contact with others, and for monitoring for important information transmitted by Hams and Relays. See AmRRON to learn more about how this works.To learn more about CH-3, click HERE:

AmRRON: the American Redoubt Radio Operators Network.
The AmRRON Frequency Plan is available only to members of the American Redoubt Network. AmRRON is the radio net designed to keep Redoubters and OAR (Outside the American Redoubt) patriots connected should conventional communications fail. *It is for a real-world disaster situation. AmRRON incorporates HF(High Frequency)/Shortwave, with 2m Ham, 70cm Ham, and CH-3, linking Hams and Non-Hams, to keep intelligence, news, and information flowing both directions.
*For everyday communications and regularly-scheduled nets, we encourage you to transmit and monitor communications by joining other preppers using TAPRN (The American Prepper Radio Network). To learn more about AmRRON, click HERE.
TAPRN: The American Prepper Radio Network.
For everyday, normal use for Ham operators who are Preppers, Patriots, and Redoubters, since we're all in this together. Do NOT use your AmRRON Call Sign when using this net. You may only use your FCC Call Sign. Remember, the majority of the people using TAPRN are not Redoubters, they're preppers. This is a great way to practice using your equipment and honing your Ham skills before TEOTWAWKI, and build some great relationships with some wonderful, like-minded folks.
