NFARL NETS

Tech Net

TechNet is taking a summer break.  The net will resume in late August.

NFARL hosts a TECH NET each week on Monday night at 8:30PM local time on the 145.47 machine.  The purpose of this net is to discuss all things technical that are related to ham radio.  Each week a series of questions from the General Class License examination pool will be discussed.

If there are questions you'd like to ask you can send them to Mack at WB4MAK@nfarl.org before-hand or ask them during the net.  The advantage to sending them prior to the net is to allow net moderators to research the question.

We use Google and a chat room during the net to search for information related to topics being discussed, document findings, and send URL links back and forth.  Here's how to get set up to participate in the net:

  1. Be at a computer from which you can Google information.
  2. Open a separate tab for the NFARL chat room hosted at www.dodropin.org.  Click here to open the chat room. 
  3. Tune your radio to 145.47 (-) PL 100.0Hz or log into 145.47 repeater ECHOlink node 381631 (WB4MAK-L).  For more on EchoLink, visit our ECHOlink Overview page.
  4. Check in when the net opens by saying your name, call-sign, and location.

Please mark your calendars now to join this exciting net each week.

Youth Net

Youth Net is taking a summer break.  The net will resume in late August.

NFARL has a YOUTH NET at 5PM on Fridays on the 145.47 machine.  Please encourage all youth (18 or less) to participate.  Net participants do not have to be ham operators as long as there is a control station in charge.  Bring neighbors, scouts, kids, grandkids, etc to your station to "join the net".  Adult check-ins are permitted.

We use also use Google and the NFARL chat room during the youth net.  The set up process is the same as for TechNet except you may access ECHOlink via the dodropin conference bridge at 355800 or the 145.47 repeater echolink at 381631 (WB4MAK-L).

Frances, AJ4JQ, will be the net control.

Youth Membership in NFARL

We offer free NFARL membership to any young person under 18 years old.   Please encourage any young person you know, who is interested in ham radio, to join the North Fulton Amateur Radio League.
