Nets & Repeaters

CARS Net is a social net which is held every Thursday night at
9:00pm on the 146.880 repeater. Any amateur radio operator who is in
the repeaters coverage area is encouraged to join the fun. The
purpose of this net is to have fun, but we also use it for passing NTS
traffic from time to time. Depending on who Net Control is, we might
even do a little training exercise.

CARS After Net Net is a social net which is held directly after the
CARS Thursday Net on or about 28.415

Jackson County Public Service Net is held every Sunday at 9:00pm
on the 146.880 repeater, please join in and be counted.

Slow Scan Net is held every Wednesday evening at 7:00pm on
simplex 146.490.

The Guard Rail Net is special, you must check in to find out more
about it. If you don't hear any traffic by 6:45am toss your call out,
someone will be listening for sure. Also on the 146.880 repeater.
