How to be a net control operator - Ham Radio Q&A

A great way to provide a public service and maintain your skill as an operator is to be a net control station. Being net control is rewarding and not overly difficult. And the easiest and most accessible form of net control operation is to volunteer for your local net on a VHF repeater.



Insomniac Net - Allstar Link Via Hub 2560

Insomniac Net
The Insomniac Net is held every night of the year (including holidays) and has been very popular for over 26 years. Each night there is a different net control operator. Generally, they have three or four trivia questions with 2 multiple choice answers. Roll call of the regular night owl members is called, then a special call for visitors and guests is presented.

Civil Air Search and Rescue Association Net

Civil Air Search and Rescue Association Net CASARA is the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association which are trained volunteers from all across Canada who offer their time and expertise in performing Searches in times of need. We train under many disciplines as Pilots, Navigators, Search Coordinators and Spotters and many have Amateur Radio as an addition to their avocations. The weekly net is to used to check in and exchange ideas between groups who are using new technologies such as IRLP and APRS to name a few, to trade off ideas to make the search techniques and communications between great distances that we cover more reliable. This forum is open to all interested parties and we have usual check-in's from many of the eleven Units across Ontario and we hope that more across Canada will join us in the future.

Loyalist City Amateur Radio Club (LCARC) Net

Loyalist City Amateur Radio Club (LCARC) This is a weekly club net held at 8 p.m. local (Atlantic Time) on the VE1EE repeater (IRLP Node 2009). There is a designated Net Controller for each net. The purpose of opening this to a Reflector is to allow club members who are traveling abroad to participate in our weekly net. Although this is a Club net, visitors are welcome. The Net runs from 8 p.m. until 9 p.m. but sometimes shorter depending on the number of check-ins. Net Control can be referred to as VE9LC, the Club call sign. Our website is http://www.lcarc.ca
