*NEW* After School Net, on the IRA Link System Mondays, 5:30 PM.
A new net is active. It’s called the After School net, and occurs every Monday at 5:30 PM.
The net is primarily geared toward students, ranging from elementary to college-level, and will be oriented toward topics of interest to them. Net hosts Emma KE8IKS and Sabrina WS8EMT.
Both licensed hams and non-licensed are welcome. In order to meet FCC legal requirements, any non-ham should check in as a “third party” check-in, and should use the call sign of the ham who is assisting them. Hams in other age groups will also have an opportunity to check in toward the end of the net.
So, come join the fun on an IRA link near you, via EchoLink, or via Allstar!!!!
