As you can see, this page has not been removed, due to the fact that the St. Charles Composite Squadron was deactivated in January 2016, as I had posted almost a year ago.

Something has occurred that has prevented us from closing this page. Therefore, if you would like to keep up to date on CAP events, please like and follow some of the other CAP unit pages, MOWG page, etc.

It's a sad day. This unit, 23040 or more recentlty known as NCR-MO 040, has officially been de-activated, as of today, 11 January 2016 at 16:13z. It had been around since the mid 1960s. I joined as a cadet in 1977.

Good bye...St. Charles Composite Squadron. You will be missed.

I hate to say this, but the St. Charles Composite Squadron will be closing down at the end of 2015. I originally joined the Squadron in 1977. The Squadron has had it's ups,and downs over the years with the number of members. However, this time, we just couldn't recover.

Please, feel free to join us at our "offspring" Squadron, the Wentzville Composite Squadron, MO-110.

Way back in the day, when I was a cadet, St. Charles had grown so much, that there was an O'Fallon Flight of the St. Charles Composite Squadron, formed in O'Fallon Missouri. From the O'Fallon Flight, the Wentzville Squadron was formed, the last of the "off-shoots" of St. Charles. The other Squadron, that I'm aware of that was formed from St. Charles, was Mid-Rivers Senior Squadron and they, just closed, merging with St. Louis Composite Squadron #1, MO-005.

The St. Charles Composite Squadron participated in the Missouri Wing, Group 2 Simplex Relay Communications Exercise on 12 September 2015. The purpose was to relay messages from Malden, Missouri to Hannibal, Missouri and back, utilizing a single VHF-FM frequency. This exercise was to help establish our communications goals for emergencies when the repeaters are not available.

A repeater is a transmitter/receiver that receives a signal on one frequency and simultaneously transmits that signal on another frequency. This type of radio is used to establish a greater communication area. Since repeaters are usually located in high areas, repeaters allow mobile and handheld radios to communicate over greater distances, where line-of-sight between them and the other station is not possible.
