CSERG – Amateur Radio Group
The Community Service Emergency Radio Group (CSERG) is a volunteer group of licensed amateur radio operators who support Clearfield City by promoting readiness and providing auxiliary communications during emergencies and community events.
CSERG conducts a weekly radio net focused on training and exercising amateur radio operator skills. The net is held each Wednesday at 8:30 PM on 145.770 MHz (simplex), with 448.825 MHz (Clearfield repeater, CTCSS tone 123.0 Hz) available as part of the net operations.
On the last Wednesday of each month, CSERG meets in person at Clearfield City Hall at 8:30 PM in place of the weekly radio net.
The City maintains a dedicated radio communications room to support local dispatch centers and the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) when additional communications capability is needed. City radio equipment is available for use by licensed amateur radio operators who support emergency communications operations from this dedicated facility.
Trained operators receive, relay, and document critical messages to support responders, decision-makers, and the public. CSERG also supports non-emergency community events (such as parades and festivals) and can provide situational reporting when developing hazards require timely notification.
