Greetings Everyone !
Again, I am real excited about the Piedmont 60 Meters Net !
This will be a fun net for everyone in many ways.
First, we are getting to use the designated channels in the 60 Meters band to communicate on.
These designated channel do not have the interference that you will find on the 80, 75, or 40 Meters band.
Also we are only allowed to work the USB and do not transmit no more than 100 watts of power into a 0 gain antenna. This will help to keep the frequencies clear and help keep the interference down.
Second, this is a good place for new Hams in HF communications to start. They will not be walked over or shoved around like on the other bands. The new HF Hams can experiment with their new HF radios too.
Third, for those who likes to work QRP, this is the place for you. With low noise most of the time and very little interference, you can work stations with 5 watts of power !
Forth, for those who like to go after the ARRL "WAS" award ( Work All States ), 60 Meters will again be a good place to get your WAS Award.
Last but not least, the channels on 60 Meters will be good to use in case there is a emergency and emergency traffic needs to be passed.
So hop in and join the fun every Monday night at 8:00 PM
Frequency: 5.330.50 Mhz USB ( Primmary )
1st. Alternate: 5.346.50 Mhz. USB
2 nd. Alternate: 5.357.00 Mhz. USB
3 rd. Alternate: 5.371.50 Mhz. USB
We will also have time for a good ragchew and for those who wants to contact a DX station !
So, Come On And Join The Fun !
Providing emergency communications for the Piedmont region of North Carolina and beyond !
