Operating Nets |

NARS members meet on the
air on three nets. The weekly ragchew net meets on 10 meters (28.444) on
Monday evenings from 8:00 to 9:00 P.M. CST. This is a moderated net,
but is very informal. Following the 10 meter net, there is a follow-on informal ragchew on 80
meters. The frequency is usually around 3850, but varies according to
band conditions and existing QSOs. Walter, KK5LO, usually posts the
frequency for the evening on the NARS reflector. On Wednesday evenings, Gerry, KB5VGD, conducts a moderated Q&A beginners net. Topics are of interest to all hams, and the net is opento everyone. This is the place to get some on-air operating experience, ask questions, and learn. Frequency is 146.660 / -600 khz, PL 141.3.
