Subj : A Tribute To The Nets To : All From : Daryl Stout Date : Sat Jan 28 2017 12:06 am Arkansas And Other Ham Radio Nets Of Interest -- Updated Sep. 28, 2015 Some of the repeaters may require PL tones to access, and these are listed, where applicable. The "ARC" acronym stands for "Amateur Radio Club", and "ARS" stands for "Amateur Radio Service". The HF nets are listed first...followed by the VHF/UHF Nets, then Digital Nets, Echolink, and D-Star Nets. All net times listed below are U.S. Central...which is 6 hours behind UTC from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March...and 5 hours behind UTC the rest of the year. More nets are likely available for each mode, but the ones listed are the ones that I know about. While no license is required to JUST LISTEN, you must have a valid General class license or higher to check into the HF nets. The only exception is the Arkansas 10-10 Net, in which ANY licensed operator may check into. You must have a valid Technician Class or higher license, to check into the VHF/UHF, Digital, Echolink, or D-Star Nets. Validation of your callsign is required for the Digital, Echolink, or D-Star Nets. Note that last minute cancellations of any of the nets below may occur, and that some nets may be cancelled for the holidays. Leave a M)essage to Sysop, with any additions, deletions, changes, or corrections.
