Nets are perhaps the single most important aspect of Amateur Radio. It makes sense, really, when you consider that the foundation of Amateur Radio is Public Service and Communication. With that in mind, please consider joining us on an upcoming Net, won't you?
Sunday
Sunday's we have two local nets with the first one being CMARC Slow Scan TV Net, with your host Carl (K8YHH). If you're new to Slow Scan TV, or a Pro, you are welcome to join at 7pm on the 146.94 (- Offset, 100Hz PL) LCDRA Repeater.
Next on Sunday evenings at 8:30pm is the CMARC Information Net on the 145.39 (- Offset, 100Hz PL) LCDRA Repeater. Your host, Bob Berger (K8RDN) is at Net Control and welcomes all comers. Stop in, chat and tell us what's new and exciting in your world.
Monday
The Lansing ARPSC Net is held weekly on the 145.39 LCDRA Repeater. Tune in at 8pm every Monday Night to participate with your Net Control, 'Rocky' Beckner (K8DRB)-(Note: For the time being, Don McLain (KB8RAD) is filling in as Net Control). The Net does not take place on the third Monday of the month which is when we hold the monthly ARPSC meeting.
The purpose of the Net is to pass traffic, provide training for ARPSC members, exchange information for ARPSC members regarding activities and requirements and to be heard amongst HAM's and non-HAM's alike in the multi-county footprint of the repeater.
Tuesday
We have two Nets on Tuesday evenings, with both taking place at the same time, but on different repeaters. You are welcome to visit both.
The first is the Ladies Tea Time Net, held each Tuesday evening at 8pm on the 145.39 LCDRA Repeater. Your Net Control Operator, Julie McLain (KB8ZXR) welcomes one and all to this Net, which is primarily geared to the ladies out there. If you are a lady without a license, talk to your OM and get him to stand by while you check in 3rd party.
Yes, the guys are welcome too. Grab a nice, hot cup of tea and get in on the fun.
Second is the Quarter Century Wireless Association Net, with Net Control Operator, Don Tillitson (WB8NUS). The Net starts a 8pm and is held on the 146.70 LCDRA Repeater (- Offset, 100Hz PL) and is open to all licensed Amateurs.
Thursday
Join Corey (KD8BOQ) for CMARC's Youth Net. The Net begins at 8pm on the 145.39 LCDRA Repeater and everyone is invited, regardless of age. Get a look at Amateur Radio through the eyes of our the next generation and see what Corey and the gang have in store for us.
Let's remember & give thanks to all who maintain our local area repeaters from the Lansing Civil Defense Repeater Association (LCDRA) who give of their time & money to keep up the, 145.39, 146.94, 146.70, 145.47, 224.98 repeaters. Without which we would not be able to have the wonderful Net's we enjoy!
