10 meter Eagle Net, 8:00 PM (2000) to 9:00 PM (2100)
- First week 10 meters 28.360mhz
- 2nd LDARC HF Contest Returns
- 3rd week 75 meters 3.900mhz
- 4th week is 40 meters 7.238mhz.
- 5th week is for something different. SSB 6,12,17 meters or JS8Call any band.
It is our hope that our new frequencies will allow us to hear each other better as well as make out of area contacts more regularly. Unfortunately these new frequencies do require a General Class license or better. For this reason, we are keeping it on 10 meters the first Tuesday of each month.
Digital Only after hours (subject to change)
The after hours nets are round-table chat with no NC.
