About Us

Welcome to SEEN, AmRRON, and the Ch3 project.

AmRRON (American Redoubt Radio Operators Network) is a Nationwide Emergency Communications Network for Patriots and other liberty-loving radio operators who have volunteered to keep each other connected when other means of communication are unavailable or unreliable.

AmRRON's primary "energy" is on nationwide and regional communications — encouraging local communities to develop their own emergency communications plans. SEEN, (the Southeast Emergency Network), was created to provide that local communications group for the Southeast region — initially starting in our local communities in Central Alabama, but providing a framework to grow throughout the Southeastern US. SEEN works alongside AmRRON as an affiliate — providing interoperability with the established framework of a well-organized national network.

The primary goal of SEEN is the establishment of a highly functional regional network of local networks — YES, a network made up of networks, of radio operators willing to carry out AmRRon’s mission on a local level — to volunteer to keep each other connected when other means of communication are unavailable or unreliable. We are building a framework for local networks to build upon, with a mechanism to plug into the southeastern region to share knowledge, tools, and resources. SEEN aims to operate both voice and digital networks as well as maintain a VHF packet network to ensure that local and regional priority traffic can flow unimpeded in the worst of situations. We work closely with AmRRON to access larger area communications, and we encourage participation in AmRRON practice nets and exercises. We seek to do this outside of using any type of hardline, cellular, or any other systems that are dependent on outside sources. We are very aware that these systems under cyber-attacks or other attacks will render them useless as we have seen in the past.

So — you may be asking yourself  "Is this group for me?

SEEN is not a radio club. If you are an operator who is looking for just another net to check into each week — we are not your group. Our voice net is not another weekly roll call. We utilize the block of time on our "net" to do real-world training on skills, tools, and protocols that we will implement in real-world situations. The time is also used to discuss various "what if" scenarios so that we can add IFTTT problem-solving. We will, from time to time, simulate scenarios where these skills, tools, and protocols will be put to the test, and then improve where we fail. We will mobilize, when necessary and available, to put our training to work.

In addition to weekly practice radio nets, we plan to have regular exercises and simulations which will further develop the capabilities of the network. This group will challenge you to become a better operator. So, if this sounds like a group you're interested in, we are glad that you found us here and would like to welcome you to our group.

We encourage you to invite other like-minded operators. Think of skills you'd like to develop — but not only those skills...think of scenarios where those skills may be used in an emergency.

We have given an overview of the plan for SEEN. We will elaborate on this a little more in future blogs, focusing on the initial goal of developing a local packet network, our training plan, and an introduction to the AmRRON  Ch3 project. For anyone who is currently HF capable and would like to jump right in, we monitor 3.585 using JS8Call as well as Contestia and FSQ during our Wednesday night net. Otherwise, we monitor and operate on the AmRRON national frequencies. 3.585 is the frequency that we will use if there is an RWE (real-world event) in Alabama. It is also used for training new operators in the area of digital communications.
