What is an amateur radio net?

An amateur radio net, or simply ham net, is an “on-the-air” gathering of amateur radio operators. Most nets convene on a regular schedule and specific frequency, and are organized for a particular purpose, such as relaying messages, discussing a common topic of interest, in severe weather, emergencies, or simply as a regular gathering of friends for conversation

The Humboldt Amateur Radio Club Net

This Net meets every Wednesday evening at 1900 hours on the HARC repeater. You can access the HARC repeater, which is physically located in the Muni in Eureka, by turning to 145.470 with a -600 offset and a 103.5 tone. Check your radio’s manual to set that up.

The purpose of HARC Net is to test the HARC repeater as well as the Member’s stations for time of need, provide training in the handling of various types Amateur Radio traffic, and to aid new Net Control Stations to gain experience as NCS operators. If you are a licensed operator, please feel free to drop in on our net!
