[SARC] For all of those new /AG's out there

[Bob - KI4RWL]

For a list of some of the HF check-in Nets, go to http://www.opparc.org/ 
and click on "HF Nets" down on the side.  Two of the more popular Nets 
for this area are the Alabama Traffic Net Mike on 3965 kHz at 6:30 PM 
every evening, and the North Florida Phone Net on 3950 kHz at 6:30 PM. 
Most nights, if you time it just right, you can check into the Alabama 
net and then have time swap over to the North Florida net and check in 
there.  Both of these are on 75/80 Meters.

If there are any others out there with a list of nets or possibly other 
modes who would like to share any info, feel free to post back on here!

One suggestion I'd like to make to everyone is to print out a copy of 
the latest ARRL Frequency Chart 
(http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/bands.html) and the ARRL 
Band Plans (http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/bandplan.html). 
  Post these at your station, so you can double-check yourself before 
you transmit on the wrong frequency or with the wrong mode (ie, using 
phone on the CW portion of a band)!

If anyone needs help with putting up dipoles, or maybe just needs some 
help with a new (not necessarily "new", but maybe just new to them) HF 
rig, feel free to call us on one of the local repeaters (Andalusia, 
Crestview, Opp) for some help, and any of us would be glad to help you 
out.  That's what part of being amateur operators is about; helping each 
other.
