This
net has been created and organized by Landon, AI7HE. It officially
began on Sunday, August 9th 2020 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 or share with any youth that have an
interest. ALL hams are invited to participate.
