FRRL Nets: Tuesday Night 2 Meter Net - W9CEQ
Join us at 7:30 p.m. each Tuesday, except for club meeting nights, for the official FRRL club net. This is a directed net that incorporates an informal “rag chew” each week. All licensed amateur radio operators are invited to check in. Members are encouraged to use the net as a resource for announcements and information on club activities. Contact Net Control Manager Dawn Williams, KC9LQS, at NetControls@frrl.org for more information.
The 2 meter FM repeater can be accessed at 147.210, with an offset of +600 and a PL tone of 103.5.
On the fourth Tuesday of each month, we hold a simplex net immediately following the 2 meter net. The frequency is 146.580. Be prepared to provide information on your power output, antenna and QTH. This gives participants an idea of their TX/RX range
Check-In Format
Stations are called to check in by alphabetical groupings of their call sign suffix. When Net Control has acknowledged you, give your name and QTH. You may also pass any traffic for the net at this time, including upcoming events, shop and swap, news from your shack, and comments on the week’s discussion topic. We conduct two rounds during each net, except on our simplex night.

Other Nets:
Monday 10-10 City of Lights Net
The Ten-Ten International Net, Inc. club was formed way back in 1962. Its purpose is to promote activity and good operating practice on the ten meter HF band. The City of Lights Chapter of 10-10, based in Aurora, conducts two 10-10 Nets on Monday nights. There is a CW session at 8:00pm on 28.150 MHz, and a SSB phone session which follows at 8:30 pm on 28.720 MHz. You do not need to be a member of the 10-10 organization to check in to the nets.
