We have two weekly nets on VE7RXZ (147.220 MHz, +0.600 MHz, T100.0 Hz).

Wednesday Mornings at 09:30 local time
Thursday Evening at 19:30 local time

We welcome hams from any location to check in with us.

Our net manager is Robert (VE7RBE). And our net controllers are: Marc (VE7TBP), Steve (VA7SMI), Gord (VE7JGZ), Neil (VE7TBN), and Elliott (VA7ETC).

Here's is our script

Other Good Lists

¹⁾

In July and August, the Mira Breakfast Bunch net is replaced by the “Summer Conversation Opportunity” net on the same frequency and at the same time.

²⁾

Most stations are vertically polarized at the moment

³⁾

After the repeater portion, the Saltspring Island Net moves to 146.595 MHz T123.0 simplex followed by 3750 kHz LSB

⁴⁾

Every other Sunday

⁵⁾

In the winter, to conserve battery power, the NARA Monday Night Net takes checkins for the first round on the ITS, but the second round moves to VA7ITS (444.725 MHz − T141.3), which gets temporarily disconnected from the rest of the trunk and connected instead to VE7DXH (145.410 MHz − T141.3 and 224.040 MHz − T141.3). The net always ends on 80m on 3746 MHz ±5kHz
