The club has a regular “sked” on 7055kHz LSB on Sundays at 9.30am local time. Members and visitors are welcome to sign in.
The Branch Net represents a good social opportunity, but it also tests your equipment and operations and can be helpful with understanding antenna performance, and local propagation challenges (given ground wave communications are limited in our region due to the topography).
If you are net control and can’t make your slot please notify the convener (Bernard ZL2BD at secretary@zl2wb.com).
Net protocol is generally as follows:
- A net control will call stations in at the appointed time. The net control will use the club callsign (ZL2WB)
- The net control will indicate the order of stations. The net proceeds “round robin” without requiring all stations to return to net control.
- The first round of contacts usually involves brief signal reports on all stations and a brief update.
- The second round is typically more conversational.
Generally the net concludes within 15 minutes.
