Ottawa Valley Upper Frequencies SSB Net - Tuesdays 2100hrs on 144.250MHz USB
This net meets every Tuesday [except the first Tuesday of each month] at 2100 hours on 144.250MHz USB (upper sideband).
The net does not officially run on the first Tuesday of the month because that is the WCARC meeting night and the regular net controllers and many check-ins attend that meeting. If a regular net controller is not available, any station is most welcome to assume the net control duties.
To the extent possible, both horizontal and vertical polarization will be monitored during the net, although horizontal polarization is the generally accepted standard for SSB and weak signal work.
This is an informal net, open to any and all licenced amateurs who wish to check in. Operators are invited to test their station equipment, experiment, and discuss items of interest to other radio amateurs.
After the net on 144.250MHz, we will hold a quick roll call on 50.150MHz, then 432.150MHz, then on 222.150 MHz, then on 903.150MHz and finally on 1296.100MHz if stations are available.
Members of the net are usually available to conduct or assist with special tests on antennas, other modes such as CW and FM and also using digital modes such as PSK31, SSTV, WSJT.
The Net Controllers try their best to have the entire net and roll calls over by 2215hrs so the demand on your personal time is kept to a minimum.
Regular Net Control Stations include:
VE3XK - Doug - located in FN15wg
VE3CVG - Rick - located in FN25hm
We look forward to chatting with you. Please join us.
