Amateur Radio Nets that AHARs members attend
Monday night AHARS 2 metre net
The AHARS 2 metre Net is held each Monday night via the VK5RAD repeater on 147.000MHz (-600kHz transmit offset) at 2000 hrs local time.
It is a general chat about what we have all been doing and anything that is of interest.
Open to all registered Amateur Operators, new and recently licensed operators are especially welcome to join in and become comfortable being on air. Interstate and other visiting operators are also most welcome.
You don’t have to be an AHARS Member to join in, so come up and make yourself known.
Call in with your callsign and name in phonetics at the appropriate time when asked by the net controller.
Boat Anchor Net
The “Boat Anchor Net”, previously conducted by Dean, VK5LB, on 3.62 MHz every Tuesday evening at 1930 ACST (11:00 UTC) is now being conducted by Andy, VK5LA.
Early check in can usually be done around 19:15 Local Adelaide time.
This is one of the longest running nets on the airwaves anywhere! Come up and say Hello if you have 80 metre capability.
ANZA DX Net
The ANZA (Australian, New Zealand and Africa) Net runs every day on 14.183MHz at 0515 UTC, with early check-ins at 0500 UTC. It is a list net, so you have to wait your turn to give reports, etc. There are check-ins from all over the world (anywhere from 15 to 35 per day) and it would be a great platform for those working towards their DXCC awards. Paul, VK5PAS, and Shirley, VK5YL, alternate as net controllers on Thursday, which is Ladies Day, but all are welcome any day.
Foundation amateurs, who don’t have use of the 20 metre band, can get on the ANZA Net on 21.205 MHz in the 15 metre band on Saturdays, at 0400 UTC..
