PRC Nets

We invite you to listen in or, “check in” to any of our nets. Our nets are open to all licensed amateur operators! We love hearing from everyone!
 
UHF/ VHF net   Every Tuesday, 9:00 pm on the KB8WLW repeater system.
(this can be heard on many scanners) This net will be on whether or not a club meeting is taking place.
 
We are always looking for volunteers to perform the role of Net Control Operator.  This is an enjoyable way to participate in the net. You do not need to be a member of the PRC to be a NCO.   Write us at parmaradioclub@gmail.com and we’ll get you started. A simple NCO script has been is posted on this site.

If you’re new to the hobby…

Many local amateur radio clubs and organizations conduct on-air radio “nets”.  A net is a scheduled on-air meeting of amateurs for a specific purpose. While it may be for a casual exchange of conversation, it might also be for emergency preparedness training or other purpose. All nets are directed by a Net Control Operator station, following a generally accepted net protocol to maintain order.

If you have a scanner or amateur radio receiver you can listen to these nets to get a feel for some of the activity in which you will soon be able to participate. While some nets are strictly social, others nets might be for equipment selling among hams, emergency preparedness exercises, or emergency weather conditions. The Parma Radio Club hosts a weekly net.
