The 220 at 2:20 Net
Sundays at 2:20 PM (CDT)
Come join us for a comfortable Sunday afternoon rag-chew on the 220 at 2:20 Net! This is a weekly Sunday afternoon net (held the 2nd Sunday, and every Sunday for the rest of the month). You do not have to be a club member to participate. This net is named because of its start time of 2:20 PM Central Time, and of course being held on the 220 MHz amateur radio band. We have check-ins from local, national and international stations via Echolink and AllStar. There is no hard format, questions and topics of discussion vary.
Please join us and spend part of your Sunday afternoons with us. It's always a good time!
Hosted by Billy - KD9LQM, every Sunday except for the first Sunday of the month, where we present our Elmer’s Net with our own Paul KC6YBV. Bring your questions - get some answers.
Operators outside repeater range can connect through EchoLink WM9W-R, node 218858, or AllStar node 458800.
The Nightcrawlers Net
At midnight... every night! (CDT)
Join us on the Nightcrawlers Net! We like to think of ourselves as the first Net of the day in Chicago. This Net is held daily/nightly (depending on your perspective) on our repeater, starting around midnight. This is an informal round table net that has an open discussion format. It can last up to a half-hour, or into the wee hours of the morning. Discussions vary, but you will get: (KD9EID's) Laura's stuff or, "on-this-day in history" Wednesday through Saturday; the Amateur Radio Newsline on Tuesdays; hear the weekly ARRL Audio News and play Guess Hap’s Blood Sugar to win prizes on Saturdays. If there is no big winner, we take winners with whoever comes closest to the number - you get bragging rights for the week. If you guess his blood sugar on-the-nosey, you win a can of chickpeas and a box of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat. Yum.
So, if you're up at that time, or just battling insomnia, why not turn on your radio and enjoy some company? Just another way for us to make amateur radio fun. Come on out and join our Guide to the Other Side in lively conversation and hang out with a great number of returning Nightcrawlers. (Where everybody knows your call sign. “la-la-la”) Join us to see what crazy topics are up for discussion or wear out your lips in a rag-chew.
Our host schedule is as follows, and it’s a great line-up: Steven - KD8MEY from Michigan, standing in for Joe - KD9EJX, begins the week Monday at 11:00 (local), where the regulars come out to rag chew; on Tuesday, it’s an open net - anyone wishing to pick it up is more than welcome to run our net for the night; Gail - K0ECK, from Texas, on Wednesday; Nick - WA9MQP on Thursday; Bob - KC9UJY, on Friday; John - KD9BYW (your guide to the other side), on Saturday; and Bob - KC9UJY, closing out the week on Sunday.
Operators outside repeater range can connect through EchoLink WM9W-R, node 218858, or AllStar node 458800.
Please contact Kelvin Jackson - W9BBQ, our Acting Net Controller Coordinator, if you are interested in being a Guest Net Controller for any of our Nets. It's very easy to do, it's loads of fun, and we're always looking for more help.
