Several of my best friends are having so much fun mobiling on HF, and as one who used to operate that mode exclusively, checking out a range of nets sounded like a great opportunity to get 2002 off to a Whiz-Bang start. So, here goes. If your favorite net isn't listed here, pass it along and we'll cover it in a subsequent issue. Of course, always check Propagation first, right?

"7255...all day, every day...." I'd say that about covers it all, HI!
Great net....great website. This site covers virtually everything from ECARS itself
to ham radio swaps & auctions, call-sign look-up, other nets, you name it.

Ok all you 75m hounds, here's one for you! As the name "suggests,"
this net opens at 1600 hrs (Eastern time) on 3922. Check out the Certificate
link....Neat!! The small photo of Lake Winnipesaukee tugs at the
will-o-the-wisp in all of us, too. Remember camping on its shores
one summer evening. Beautiful QTH. Uh-oh, tho'...looks like the link
to Amy Lyn Edwards (photo credit) is broken. Hoped to see more pix
of the lake... :(

QSY down the band a ways and check out the Century Club net on 3905.
Ah! Looking for that "rare" state for WAS? The Century Club's stated
purpose is to help you obtain that award!

Boy, I'll tell ya! These New Englanders sure do know how to tempt with
terrific landscapes... Yep, I'd say this net is aptly named, wouldn't
you agree? Check out the link in the photo, too. Leads to an informative
discourse on the nature of the Green Mountains. Gotta say I've been there, HI!
One of the nicest drives ever, crossing Lake Champlaign from Plattsburg, NY, then
driving down to Montpelier. But, this isn't a travelouge, so back to....Nets!!

The Medical Amateur Radio COuncil -- MARCO. Here's a net that spans multiple
bands to offer those who work in the medical professions the opportunity to QSO
with fellow practioners. Well, I guess I spoke out of turn, as they say. The
net sked shows only 20m frequencies. What happened to the 40m net, gang? And,
there used to be a 75m net as well. Well, maybe the sunspots have pulled the
crowd a bit higher?
|
Boy, this one had me bamboozled!! Goes to show, you have to read what's
there, not what you THINK you see, HI!
|
Still on 75, gang. Well, that's where all the terrific nets
always did meet, you say? I've heard that myself, 'tho I can't verify
it, HI!
|
Well, although not an entirely current listing, this site attempts to
report on some 34 YL DX nets, no mean feat! And, it truly does represent
a DX community. Nets from virtually every point of the compass are
included:
|
|
Well, not to be outdone by the YLs, now we've got the OM Int'l SSB
Society as well, altho' I do see that YLs also are represented in
the net control listing.

W2LTP founded Triple H in 1976 as a WAS and DX assistance Net.

Surprised? Wasn't what you expected, right? Well, I was surprised as well.
Like you, I was expecting a link to the Midwest Amateur Radio Service... aka
7258! 'Course, I haven't been active on 40 for a number of years, so my info
just might be antiquated, HI! No, not me...just the info.......

A service of long standing, the Maritime Mobile Service Net is exactly what its
name implies. The Net meets daily from 1200 hrs to 2200 hrs Eastern Time on
(1700 - 0300 UTC) on 14,00 KHz. Need more background? Check the
About Us page.
