Members of the C.O.R.E. Group are often found on the air- primarily on VHF and UHF, especially on APRS these days- look for K2LAW-5 which is an RF linked home node/relay, giving mobiles fill in coverage needed in the Clarksville area, and for mobiles AA4TA-4, K2LAW-15 and KI4LEV-4. APRS is a Group favorite- even without a node you can check it out N1BQ's APRS Search Page. Just enter the callsign of the station you are looking for and it will show you the last location.

The CORE Group has two repeaters fully operational. These are open machines and are as follows- the W4CHM 442.900+ with a 110.9 tone and the K4ORE 146.925- with a 110.9 tone- CURRENTLY OFF-AIR. These machines are continually under improvement, with a relocation for better coverage of the served area in the imminent future. The additional repeaters on 440, 220 and 6m have been a victim of time constraints, but a linked system is still the ultimate goal. While we don't have a formal schedule, those of us who are stationed at Ft. Campbell are regularly on 443.000 simplex- "secret simplex". Another place to look for members is on the excellent AF4TZ 145.410- Dover machine, and on occasion, the N4CKV 224.42- machine in Cunningham.

So, if you are in town and want to join the fun, jump in when you hear us on the air. If you can't do that for legal reasons- check out the VE Team page and we'll see if we can help you with that temporary condition.
