Re: Webinar will discuss amateur radio and AUXCOM support to the US Department of Defense

 

I believe your understanding of the meeting time is correct.

All CONUS times will be the evening of the 17th and in Arizona, it will be 6 PM local time.

In Atlanta, it will be 8 PM local time.

It's GMRS Tuesday Again !

 

It's GMRS Tuesday Again !

Ever wonder about the General Mobile Radio Service, aka GMRS?
The folks at AZ GMRS Repeater Club (), normally a private group, run a public net on Tuesdays called "Travel Tone Tuesday" GMRS 1900 Net. Begins at 7 PM at 462.550 MHz (+) PL 141.3 Hz (White Tanks). This net is open to all GMRS licensed operators. If you are not licensed, you can still listen in.

Actually, if you are a licensed GMRS operator, you can use this repeater all day on Tuesdays! It's a great way to check out this great Family and Mobile radio service. It's very popular with hikers, 4X4 fans, preparedness folks, and more. The GMRS services allow the license holder and family to operate legally.

Here's the full description from the Queen Creek ARC Net Calendar:

AZGMRS-Tuesday 1900
Time - 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Location: 462.550 MHz 141.3 (Travel Tone)

Description:

The GMRS 1900 Net is a general directed net with topics of interest to all GMRS Radio Users.

Membership in the club is not necessary to participate in the net but all participants must have a valid GMRS License.

The net is held with the National Travel Tone of 141.3 Hz. (This is GMRS lingo for setting your T-CTCSS/PL to 141.3 Hz)

The net starts at 1900 Hours (Also known as 7:00 PM) and runs until all participants have had a chance to comment. It could run as late as 8:00 PM or end as early as 7:30 PM, depending on the number of participants they get.
