Nets

Nets (or Networks) are like meetings, but they occur via radio.

Directed Nets are nets that have a central Network Control Station. All traffic is directed either by or through the NCS.

Membership in MARS is not required to participate in any net listed on this page.
Of course, we encourage membership in MARS, to support the club.  Membership Application or Donate

ADDITIONAL NETS:

CW Training Net

Wednesday evenings, at 7:00pm to about 8:00pm, on 40 meters at 7.107 MHz (or thereabouts) there is an informal roundtable of a few CW operators and learners for a slow speed CW practice session.  New students, those wanting to brush up on rusty skills, or experienced CW operators are welcome.  Occasionally we may use the club’s 2 meter FM repeater on 146.700 MHz for voice backup.  Note that the net is in the portion of the 40 meter band where all licensed hams, including Technicians, are legally allowed to use CW. Membership in MARS is not required to participate in this net.  Any licensed amateur with HF privileges can participate.  Those not yet comfortable on the air are welcome to bring their practice oscillator to the clubhouse on Sunday morning for audio practice and coaching.
