This list of nets should give you a basis for determining what to monitor or where to attempt communications in an emergency
situation.
WV Eastern Region ARES Net:
Scheduled Mondays at 8:00 PM on 147.255 repeater. Originates from Berkeley County. Please be aware that Jack
(WB8YZV), the repeater owner may turn on the PL if QRM becomes a problem. If the PL is on, it is 123.0. Better
yet, program your radios with the PL as a default then you can get in whether it is on or not.
This is the net Berkeley County ARES will use if activated.
In the event that this repeater is down, or otherwise unavailable, Berkeley Co. ARES will operate on 146.55 simplex.

Kansas have assisted people in need on the oceans. That's the nature of 20 Meter propogation.
