I have received word that amateur communications is no longer needed for the Soberanes Fire in Big Sur. With that being said I have linked the 3 repeaters set aside for fire only traffic back to the main system.
146.940 – 94.8 (KI6PAU)
147.270 + 94.8 (WB6ECE)
442.750 + 110.9 (W6DXW)
Are back to normal use!

Tomorrow Saturday 7/30/2016, SVRG will be supporting the Santa Cruz Mountains Challenge from 0600 to 1800. They will be running an open net on the system.
They will be using the frequencies listed below for their primary traffic.
147.180 + 94.8 W6WLS
147.735 – 110.9 W6DXW
440.450 + 110.9 W6DXW
444.000 + 94.8 W6KHZ.
At this time I do not plan to Isolate this off the main link, unless there is have heavy traffic.
I ask all of you to keep in mind that any traffic pertaining to the Santa Cruz Mountains Challenge will have priority on the system.
This event will not effect the repeaters set aside for the Soberanes fire tactical net, as they are dedicated to fire traffic for the duration of the Soberanes wild fire. Those frequencies are listed below.

147.270 + 94.8 (WB6ECE)

Do to the Soberanes Fire burning in Garrapata State Park, Monterey County ARES has called upon our system for use in communications should amateur radio assistance be requested. I ask that all operators to be mind full in the event the system has to be reallocated for tactical use, there traffic is priority.
