October 3, 2020Trial SARS SSB Nets on 2m and 10mOctober 3, 2020 – Following suggestions that we again try to establish an occasional SSB net for members, it has been proposed that we use 2 metres and 10 metres. This will be at 1400 local time (1300 Zulu) TODAY 3rd of October, with G1KAR/P putting out the initial call on 144.325 MHz USB. We can repeat this once a month or more frequently subject to sufficient interest. G1KAR/P will acknowledge all calls and direct the net as appropriate. Suitably equipped stations can also try 28.320 MHz USB from 1500 local after the net on 2m. Please monitor GB3ZX from 1345 Saturday for any updates on the above schedule. THE NET IS OPEN TO NON-SARS MEMBERS AND WE WELCOME THE EXCHANGE OF REPORTS. Please see the Forum thread and leave any comments or suggestions that you may have. |
