The 20-meter Transcontinental Net. The 20-meter ARMS Net meets every day except Sunday on 14.3075 MHz from 1500 to 1700Z (1400 to 1600Z, during DST). That is 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time, 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time, 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Central Time, and 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon Eastern Time. As each station checks in, it is assigned a number. Members from all over North America, as well as occasional overseas members, check in. After a half hour of taking early-bird checkins, the net control station opens the net. The net control station calls on stations in the order in which they checked in. Stations may continue to check into the net at any time throughout the two hours of the net operation. Checkins share prayer concerns, give updates about ongoing activities and often give short scripture verses. Members may have information or traffic for other members. Checkins who are unable to stick around for their turn may request "short time," that is to take their turn right away. Overseas stations, missionaries, and mobile stations have priority and may take their turns at any time.
