What is a NET?

An amateur radio net, or simply ham net, is an “on-the-air” gathering of amateur radio operators. Most nets convene on a regular schedule and specific frequency, and are organized for a particular purpose, such as relaying messages, discussing a common topic of interest, in severe weather (for example, during a Skywarn activation), emergencies, or simply as a regular gathering of friends for conversation.

ares/races Training Net

Our net meets on the first Monday of each month on 146.460 MHz FM simplex, and on each following Monday of the month on 147.090 MHz, with a +600KHz offset and a tone of 103.5Hz, at 8 PM local time. The net can be linked to Echolink as needed. During the net, please send ICS-213 form messages to Bob K4GBE on Winlink. Bob will log our Winlink acivity and help you hone your Winlink skills

We hold a DStar net. It begins approximately 5 minutes after the ARES/RACES TRAINING NET on VHF FM concludes. All Seminole County ARES/RACES members and amateurs with D-STAR capability are invited to participate. The net is held on D-STAR Reflector REF037C.
