NFARL NETS
Tech Net
This net meets every Monday evening at 8:30 p.m. local time on the 145.47 (-) PL 100.0Hz machine.
The purpose of this net is to provide a forum for an open Q & A technical discussion of all Ham Radio related topics. Pose your questions on the net (or send them to Joe at n7qpp@nfarl.org beforehand) and others on the net will provide answers.
We use Google and a chat room during the net to search for information related to topics being discussed, document findings, and send URL links back and forth. Here's how to get set up to participate in the net:
- Be at a computer from which you can Google information.
- Open a separate tab for the NFARL chat room hosted at NFARL.DODROPIN.ORG.
- Tune your radio to 145.47 (-) PL 100.0Hz or log into 145.47 repeater ECHOlink node 560686 (NF4GA-R). For more on EchoLink, visit our ECHOlink Overview page.
- Check in when the net opens by saying your name, call-sign, and location.
Please join this exciting net each week.
Youth Net
NFARL has a YOUTH NET at 5PM on Fridays on the 145.47 machine. The net is presently on summer break and will restart after Labor Day.
Please encourage all youth (18 and under) to participate. Net participants do not have to be ham operators as long as there is a control station in charge. Bring neighbors, scouts, kids, grandkids, etc to your station to "join the net". Adult check-ins are permitted.
We use also use Google and the NFARL chat room during the youth net. The set up process is the same as for TechNet except you may access ECHOlink via the dodropin conference bridge at 355800 or the 145.47 repeater echolink at 381631 (WB4MAK-L).
Edward KJ4NRN and Chris WA4YG are the net control stations.
