The Coconino County SKYWARN is managed by Scott Martin, KY7A.  Coconino County ARES/SKYWARN meets each Wednesday night at 1900 MST (Arizona) for practice and information pertinent to SKYWARN operations. Coconino County SKYWARN uses the 146.980 repeater, which requires a negative offset and a PL tone of 162.2.  This repeater is located atop Mount Elden and is maintained by the Arizona Repeater Association . In the event of repeater failure the SKYWARN Net will be conducted on 146.980 simplex, with close-in stations relaying for outlying stations.  All licensed amateur radio operators residing in or visiting Northern Arizona are invited and encouraged to participate in the weekly SKYWARN Net.
