KWARC's 2 meter net has moved to club repeater VE3KSR each Tuesday evening at 19:00 to provide a opportunity for members to keep in touch. Come join us on VE3KSR repeater 146.97, -ve offset, PL 131.8, and say hello for a evening of staying in touch with fellow KWARC members.
Various members will handle net control, but we are looking for
volunteers to also take up this opportunity. A fun way to learn how to
handle future nets!
Please email
if you would like to volunteer to control a future net.
The KWARC Weekly Ragchew takes place on club repeater VE3KSR (146.970 -ve offset, tone 131.8), each Thursday evening from 19:00 to 20:30. This is not a net, and there is no net control, but club members are encouraged to call CQ during this time, just to see who answers.
