CLUB 2 METER AND HF NETS.

and our 2 meter repeater.

HF NET

Weekly 10 Meter Net.

New SOP for the Friendly Net in effect.

After a suggestion from Dave, K0DOM, a survey was taken of our usual group, and the results were in favor of moving the start time to 1930 hours.

This will mainly keep our net from overlapping the VHF Two Meter net that starts at 2030.

This will eliminate the former “pre-net check in” that formerly started at 1950.

 We will begin the net with check-ins at 1930, followed by the currently very short announcement phase, then another call for new check-ins

 Once the new check-ins cease, we will return to the top of the list for another go around of chat. Lastly, a call will be put out for new check-ins or rechecks.

The Friendly Net can be found on Wednesday nights, 1930 (7:30 p.m. local), Ten Meter band on 28.310 MHz.

It is a very loosely structured net without the formalities found on strict nets.

It was designed and continues to be an avenue for new hams to get on the HF bands without the fear of making mistakes as they learn.

Net control by inheritance, Dale Maroushek N0PEY

Keep you informed of upcoming events in the Minneapolis and St. Paul areas of Minnesota.
