Club Nets

Please join us for our scheduled RCARC Club Nets to keep up on all Club business.

Monday Night Net: is held on 146.85MHz PL 103.5 at 8:30PM Local time. This Net is held weekly with the first part of the Net being 'formal' with all RCARC news and announcements being listed. After the 'formal' there is always a general 'Ragchew' for everyone to make general comments. This Net is a lot of fun and full of information.

Tuesday Night 440 Net: The Tuesday Night 440 Net is held every Tuesday night with the exception of the third Tuesday which is the Club Meeting night on the W4BJF 443.975MHz Repeater at 8:00PM Local time courtesy of the Rockingham County Repeater Association. This Net is just a ole fashion general 'Ragchew' for anything that pops in the mind. ***The 440 Net has been suspended as of December 2011 for Repeater upgrade. We will have it back in service as soon as possible. Thanks, George WN4LTY and Dal W4YQY of the Rockingham Co Repeater Association.***

Thursday Night ARES Net: The Rockingham County ARES Net is held on Thursday nights at 8:30PM on the 147.345 PL 103.5 Repeater. The Net is for all ARES Members as well as anyone wanting to check in. It is a formal net and used for ARES & Skywarn business and announcements. Backup repeater in case of failure of the 147.345 will be the 146.850 repeater.
