LARC Thursday Night Weekly Net

LARC Thursday Night Weekly NetThe club currently hosts an informal net on the clubs VHF and UHF Repeaters
Every Thursday evening at 8 PM Local time
(except for the rare holiday – and maybe even then)
The purpose of the Net, other than to exercise the repeaters, is to provide information concerning the activities of the club for our membership as well as all Amateur Radio Operators in our coverage area.
This is a good time to exercise your radios, to make sure they are fully operational and working as designed, getting acquainted with members and other hams in the area. It is also a great place to get answers to your radio operating questions and maintain proficiency in net operations so we can be ready to support our community in times of emergency.
The current Net Manager is Jerry Schmidt (N0OUW), and I can be reached by e-mail by clicking on my name.
Acting as Net Control, as well as the protocol for participating in a controlled net, is a valuable skill to learn and anyone who would like to give this activity a try should contact Jerry.

VOTA – Veterans on the Air

I am currently working on building up a program for veterans with the mission of connecting veterans through radio related hobbies.We are currently planning on running a monthly net starting October 22, 2024 at 1800 hours on the Longmont Amateur Radio Club Repeaters.
Each month we will be hosting a different topic that is heavily applicable to veterans.
For the October net we will be discussing the topic of ‘cool places the military sent you.’
Although we will not be checking or actively excluding participation in the net from non-veterans,
the net is particularly tailored for veterans to be able to connect.
Ideally, we will be able to reach more veterans through echolink(8305) and broadcastify,
and it is the goal that each net we are able to help a veteran that is struggling, even if we never know about it.
