Greetings all,
Every Thursday night at 19:30 pacific, the Western Digital Net begins
taking check-ins on 3.581 MFSK-32 @1500 waterfall.
We are looking for interested ops to join in, train, and be able to do
relays.
Our region is Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, California,
Utah, and Arizona. Since we are still in finicky summer time
conditions, the more stations along the way, the easier it is for relays
to complete message relays or check-ins relays.
We use FLDIGI, FLAMP, & FLMSG. New ops are most welcome as we are both
a training net and traffic net. Our traffic typically is interesting
short messages related to ham radio, preparedness and/or technology.
Our focus is being/becoming proficient in traffic handling and being
able to relay traffic to more distant ops having difficultly hearing the
net control station.
For operators just joining the net for the first time, we ask that you
check in QRU. The net typically runs about 1 hour, with first 1/2 hour
taking check-ins. When the comment round is open, new ops are
encouraged to send their comments, or simply send "no comments" while
you evaluate and learn the workings of the net routine.
Please use your RxID and disable your TxID. If you are off frequency,
net control will help you center on 1500 using either your XIT or RIT on
your radio.
We are building a new website for this net. I plan to post back the URL
once our website is available.
In the mean time, keep on learning and enjoying digital radio.
Thank you and 73
