Nets

Checking into nets is a good way for amateurs to test and verify their equipment and at the same time improve operator skills. Nets provide an opportunity to experiment and learn about local propagation. Participating in nets can be a lot of fun and a great way to make new friends.

Due to the COVID-19 Quarantine period, we started a daily Health & Welfare net, starting at noon on 146.84 (-) 88.5. Even though Oregon, and Curry County are “reopening”, we are continuing the net for the near-term future, because many of our members are still staying at home most of the time, and this is a good chance to hear some friendly voices. In the past 21 months, we’ve had more than 3,500 check-ins!

All of the nets listed below welcome visitors. All of the times are “local” (Pacific Time). The HF nets listed require a General class license or higher.

Dia Doyle (Claudia) KL0HI will be net control for a new Thursday night, relaxed, non-hurry, “rag chew” net. Here new members get a chance to say hello and get used to talking on the radio.

This is a way that YL’s may have a recipe to share and OM’s may be looking for a book, a tool, or test equipment to borrow or share.

Talking on the radio in a informal net gets people more relaxed at using the radio which is the bottom line in case of emergency. We are looking forward to chatting with you,
