What is a Net?

A repeater net is an on-air meeting of amateur radio operators. These on-air meetings are often held at prearranged times, usually for a specific purpose or topic of interest. Lake Washington Ham Club has several repeaters in the area that enable members and non-members to socialize with one another and build community.  Currently, our social nets are temporarily hosted on the N9VW repeater, located on Cougar Mountain.

This repeater may also be used for special events and emergency coordination in the event of a local disaster. This is relatively uncommon though, so if you're worried you may be interrupting something, listen for a few minutes and then ask if the repeater is in use.

Interested in Helping?

If you have questions about the nets or are interested in helping we are often looking for volunteers. Running a net is easy and is a great way of sharpening your radio skills. Please contact the club's leadership at k7lwh@lakewashingtonhamclub.org to express your interest, or reach out to any current net host on our team.

Our Kilo Net (1,000th net) took place on January 14, 2023. This is the front of our commemorative QSL Card that was sent to each operator who checked into the Kilo Net. Many thanks to Brian KB2S for designing this card.
