We are a group dedicated to promoting simplex operation in the VHF and UHF bands. And to show that while repeaters are great, they are not the be-all and end-all of Tech class activities.For example, nets do not have to be on repeaters. Our net uses relay stations to cover more territory than any non-linked, single repeater can. And if a relay station drops out, another takes his place, try that with a linked repeater system.We put the relay back in Amateur Radio Relay League as far as 50 mhz and above are concerned.We promote and try to support spotter net activites. We also encourage expanding into 6m and 70cm FM simplex and usage of fm based data modes. Such as APRS, packet, sstv, amtor, hellschreiber, psk31 and rtty. Some may sound like HF (ssb) only but they work just fine on VHF FM too.Unfortunately, due to internet trolls, I have had to restrict new member sign up to apply and approval mode. Please be patient and go through the member application process. This will help keep the site clean for you, me and everybody.
