Don’t Forget NETS!

For those of us at home, looking for some social interaction, checking into nets can be an interesting pastime, Don’t forget that there is a net Monday thru Friday at 7 PM on the W1SYE repeater (145.45).  There is also a net at 8:15 AM on Sunday.

There is a HF net that General Class or higher hams can join on 3.900 MHz at 7:30 PM every Wednesday.

Some club members participate in another wide area HF net on 14.343 MHz between between 08:30 and 09:00 AM

And the statewide ARES net meets on the NB1RI/KA1RCI repeater network at 7 PM every Tuesday.

No More Thursday Breakfast for now…

Everybody, please be aware that ALL restaurants in RI have been shut down (except for carryout service).  We will NOT be meeting for Thursday breakfast until the situation changes later this year.

Don’t forget we have nets M-F on W1SYE VHF Repeater, as well as Wednesday nights at 7:30 PM on 3.9 MHz SSB.
