CLUB NET

Nanticoke Amateur Radio Club, Inc.

A VHF 2-meter club net is held on the repeater each Monday at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. The net is a formal way for hams in the local area to keep in touch with each other. One operator is designated as the Net Control and other operators check in by stating their call sign to the net control. Each ham is given an opportunity in turn to make announcements or ask questions. Nets are fun and they also have the benefit of teaching the organized communications techniques that are required during emergencies. Please check in with the net as soon as you get your Technicians license.
