Linn County Oregon ARES

NEW - Wednesday Round Table Net

We would like to invite hams to join us for the Wednesday Round Table Net that meets weekly on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm on the Lebanon repeater on 146.610 MHz minus offset with a tone of 167.9 Hz.

The purpose of this net is to provide hams with a relaxed and easy-going place to share with their friends what they have been doing in the previous week related to Ham radio, or anything else that is going on in their lives. All who can connect with the repeater are welcome to join us!
