This
net has been created and organized by Landon, KJ7GSJ. It officially
begins on Sunday, August 9th at 5 PM local time. This will be the
official day and time of this weekly net.
The purpose is to
promote amateur radio to youth, encourage other youth operators to check
in especially those that are not that active or are afraid to push that
PTT, share ideas with hams young and old, improve on the air etiquette,
and to have fun at the same time. The target is youth but ALL licensed
operators regardless of skill level and age are invited to check in.
This
net meets every Sunday at 5PM Arizona time, 1700 hours. To participate
in this net, you may access directly on this repeater or via EchoLink at
N2QOJ-R, also known as Node 185734.
For
the duration of the net, this repeater's EchoLink node will be connected
to the "YACHT" EchoLink Conference - Young Amateur Communications Ham
Team, *YACHT" node 9544283.
Young hams are encouraged to participate or listen in. Please pass this announcement on to a young ham.
