 ===== Nets =====
-Our regular [[/nets |Nets]] are a good place to chat with other members and test your equipment and your range.  We recommend you program our repeater frequencies with a Tone Squelch since [[http://www.w7avm.org/repeater-system |W7AVM]] on Whidbey Island in Washington State uses the same frequency as VE7RXZ.  You should also be able to use the two simplex frequencies we use on the evening net (146.565 MHz and 446.100 MHz) using the VFO because if they are in use, we'll move around a bit to find a clear frequency.

 Since this can potentially be a big section, all new pages in this section should be within the How-To namespace.  To do this, simply add ''/howto/'' before the new page name.  For example, the link to this page is ''/howto/newmembers''.
