Introduction
An amateur radio net, or simply ham net, is an “on-the-air” gathering of amateur radio operators. Most nets convene on a regular schedule and specific frequency, and are organized for a particular purpose, such as relaying messages, discussing a common topic of interest, in severe weather (for example, during a SKYWARN activation), emergencies, or simply as a regular gathering of friends for conversation.
To have your net added to the list, please send the details to Mike Corey, KI1U
