Volunteering to Host a Net is the easiest way:
No need to be a club member, but you do need to be a licensed Amateur Radio Operator. Who knows, after a time or two, you may find that you really like being a Net Control and become one of our regulars. Please take a moment to look at the sample PREAMBLE and tell another Net Control that you would like to give it a try!
Yaesu Digital Net-TWO Nights a Week:
Tuesday & Thursday Evening at 7:00 PM on 449.800 MHz.
We also have the EARLY BIRD net at 7 AM every Wednesday morning.
Our WIRES-X room number is 81854.
Here are a few Guidelines.
More about WIRES-X from YAESU.
Check out our Digital page HERE.
Participating in a conversation on our repeaters should be treated similar to a conversation in open mixed company in a social setting.
Conversations should be kept courteous and all participants should be treated with dignity and respect. Monopolizing the repeater or engaging in controversial subjects such as religion, sex, or politics should generally be avoided.
Test ‘kerchunking’ the repeater (pushing & releasing the push-to-talk button) is considered a poor operating practice and should be avoided.
We also ask that you let the repeater drop completely, to allow emergency traffic to break in.
Conversations on our repeaters are a direct reflection of our club. Please make our repeaters enjoyable for all to use.
Interference and Jamming of our Club’s Repeaters
It is the West Valley ARC position that when a QSO or net experiences unwelcome
interference over our repeater, you should either tolerate it or sign off.
The intruder will soon violate the FCC 10-minute rule by not ID-ing and possible
intentional jamming of a licensed station(s) along with other illegal acts.
The Tech Committee will be working behind the scenes to document the interference and hand it over to the FCC for disciplinary action.
If it is of a racial, sexual, profane, vulgar or other illegal act; legally ID and turn off
your radio. Never engage a jammer.
Inform the Tech Committee at:
N6ENV1@GMAIL.COM in writing of the particulars such as date & time the event
occurred along with what happened to document the violation.
Frosty, NQ1S

In today's society, we need to look out for one another. Is someone you know, not feeling well, or going in for surgery?
