Weekly

Wednesday Night Net with Amateur Radio Newsline

This is the club's senior net, started in the late 1970's

Check in for the latest club discussion and Amateur Radio Newsline on the 147.12/449.60 linked system.  John, KD8PC also carries the net over EchoLink.  Look for KD8PC-L, which lists as "446.525 Simplex" on the station list.  John is always looking for new victims — ahh — check-ins.

The Thursday Nite Rag Chew 28.470 MHz Voice

  • We talk about everything under the sun, and there are no exceptions as long as everything meets FCC Regulations
  • 28.470 MHz SSB at 8:00 PM on 10m

Steve, KY7W is Net Control for "The Thursday Nite Rag Chew."

The net is open to check-ins from across the country if propagation permits.  Steve has taken over from Jeff, N7JJK, who ran the net since 2005.

This net began in 1986 on 28.712 MHz, as the Superstition ARC 10 meter Net, and was created by Larry, WB7CRK, and moved to 28.470 in 1987 as a cross-band net when the Novice band was opened on ten meters.  Larry had to relinquish the net in 2005.  The net originally ran at 7:30 PM with Amateur Radio Newsline at the beginning as a complement to the 2m Wednesday night net which runs Newsline at the end.

During the net's run on 28.712, it was surprising to learn how often the band opened to nearby Reno, Nevada, with a Ten-Ten chapter net on 28."Seven come eleven" (28.711 MHz).  Then on 29.470, we shared the frequency with a net out of Montana that was 1/2 hour different starting time from ours, and with Montana's observance of Daylight Savings Time, sometimes these two nets overlapped.
