This page is for people who volunteer to be the net controller for the weekly club nets.
We are aware that the nets on both VK2RMM and 80m can be heard throughout Victoria and there are listeners who never call in. The net is an important public face of the club (along with this website) and it’s a good idea to discuss what happened at the last meeting and what’s coming up at the next meeting as a way of encouraging new members to come and join us.
