KARO ECHO is the acronym for the Kensington Amateur Radio Operators (KARO) and the El Cerrito Ham Operators (ECHO) mutual benefit association, an all-volunteer non-profit tax deductible organization of amateur radio operators providing auxiliary communications for the cities of Kensington and El Cerrito in the event of a disaster.  KARO ECHO works with CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams) in Kensington and El Cerrito, but is not an official part of the CERT program.

The KARO ECHO Training Net is every Thursday evening at 1900 (or after the WCCC RACES net, whichever is later) at 146.415 MHz Simplex.

KARO ECHO meets in-person on the 2nd Monday of each month at 1900 (7:00 PM) in at Arlington Park Clubhouse.
