====== Nets ======
We have two weekly nets on VE7RXZ (147.220 MHz, +0.600 MHz, T100.0 Hz):
* Wednesday Mornings at 09:30 local time and 40m (7.120 kHz) after the 2m portion
* Thursday Evening at 19:30 local time and 80m (3.750 kHz) after the 2m portion
We welcome hams from any location to check in with us.
/*
At the end of the Thursday evening net, we move to 146.565 MHz (±15 kHz), 446.100 MHz (±25 kHz), and 3750 kHz (±5 kHz) to test simplex conditions.
Winlink P2P messages can also be sent to ''VA7FI'' on 144.970 MHz at any time during the week and will be acknowledged on the Thursday evening net. See the [[howto/winlink |Winlink How-to]] for more information.
*/
Our net manager is Robert (VE7RBE). And our net controllers are: Marc (VE7TBP), Steve (VA7SMI), Gord (VE7JGZ), Neil (VE7TBN), Ron (VE7PME), Richard (VA7RJQ), and Larry (VA7LSP)
