Nets

2M net: Every Wednesday night, 147.250 MHz, (VK3RMM repeater) at 2000 Hrs.

80M net: Every Wednesday night, 3.685 MHz at 2030 Hrs.

Note that in 2025 we plan to alternate 2m or 80m every week rather than having two nets each week.

The nets are run by a rostered club member using the club callsign VK3RA.

Thanks to Peter, VK3PRC, here is a chart showing the numbers of participants in our nets in recent times.

Even with noise on the frequency, 80m signals are excellent.

While 80m is generally regarded as a good band for local contacts, we’ve often had Peter, VK3RV, joining when in VK5 and we’ve had a report that some stations can be heard on an indoor loop in Sydney.

There are notes for net controllers.
