RARS Net Schedule
RARS encourages, sponsors and supports many types of Amateur Radio Nets in the area.
We feel that Nets are an integral part of the Radio Hobby. Participation in all these nets
is open to all licensed Radio Amateurs.
RARS provides support and/or sponsors the following nets.
RARS also sponsors a weekly news broadcast - The RARS Amateur Radio News Hour.
We are always looking for volunteers to be Net Control Operators. If you have an interest in
running a net, or serving as a backup NCO, please contact the Net Manager.
Net Details
RARS 2 Meter Net
Every evening at 8:00 pm on the 146.64 repeater.
The 2-Meter Net offers an opportunity to talk about the day's events and to hear what your fellow
hams are doing. Be sure to tune in periodically for announcements of local Amateur Radio
activities or Public Service events. The 2-Meter Net is a directed net, and offers the opportunity
for new Amateur operators to learn net skills and formal message handling.
RARS Technical and Trader's Net
Saturday evening at 8:30 pm (or immediately following the 8:00 net) on the 146.64
repeater is the RARS Tech and Trader's Net. This net provides a forum for Amatuer Radio
technical questions. Many of the area's most experienced hams can answer your questions about what to do,
not to do, or how and why something works the way it does -- or doesn't work that way! Even if you
don't have a question, it's a great place to both learn and to share your knowledge with others.
Also a great place to brag about that new radio or antenna you just built!
In addition, the Trader's Net offers the opportunity to buy/sell Amatuer Radio equipment. Remember
the rules though; no commercial dealers, only ham and ham-related merchandise, and no price negotiating on the air.
(You can list an asking price.) This has been a great resource for new hams trying to find equipment at a
reasonable price and for others to find a new home for the hardware that has been replaced but would be great
for someone else.
Tarheel SWL/SIG Net
Monday evening at 9:00 p.m is the Short Wave Listening (SWL) Special Interest Group (SIG)
on the 146.64 repeater to discuss the shortwave listening. Don't think that they stop there though. Topics
literally range from DC to Daylight listening, including shortwave, VHF, UHF and beyond. All areas of
Radio Monitoring are covered including commercial Broadcast, Military, Aeronautical, Utility Clandestine/Pirate,
and Public Safety freqencies. Remember that even though the Tarheel SWL SIG meets the third Monday of the
month, but the net will still be held on that evening.
RARS Amateur Radio News Hour
Sunday Evenings at 8:15 pm, enjoy an hour-long broadcast of the top Amateur Radio news programs available.
Be sure to stop by for the ARRL Audio Newsletter, and The Amateur Radio Newsline. Always the latest news and
enforcement updates from the FCC.
Net Control Operator Schedules
RARS would like to thank all of the folks who volunteer their time to make all of these Nets Possible.
Opportunities always exist for additional Net Controllers for these Nets. If you'd like additional
information, or wish to become a NCO, please contact the Net Manager.
These nets are also reflected on the main RARS home page each day.
