We sponsor the Tuesday evening DMR Net beginning at 7:00 pm. This net is open to ALL licensed radio amateurs, whether you are a NARS member or not.

David Holden, WJ9O, is the net control station coordinator. We welcome others who would like an opportunity to be a net control station. We will try to give everyone that wants to serve as net control the opportunity. Contact David on the air or by
Although this is considered a DMR only net, the member-owned (K5MAP) DMR repeater (440.300) is connected to the NARS Allstar Hub #59847. Echolink and the NARS Brandmeister Talkgroup 3146211 are connected as well. If for some reason you don't get acknowledged while using DMR, you can always attempt to be recognized on the other modes.
We encourage net control stations as well as net participants to use NetLogger to allow you to see who is checking in as the net progresses. Visit NetLogger on this website for more information.
