AMSAT Nets on HF

AMSAT nets are also operated on HF to provide coverage of the entire world, and especially North America. These nets are much like the local nets, though they are somewhat more formal and busy. The 15m and 17m nets are inactive until propagation improves.

Regional AMSAT VHF/UHF Nets

In many areas, local AMSAT volunteers run a net, usually once a week, on a wide-coverage repeater or simplex frequency. The Houston area net is a good example, and is also available via TVRO when a transponder can be arranged. These nets generally feature AMSAT bulletins, and answer many questions from newcomers and oldtimers alike. If you don't hear the net listed, please let me know. Likewise, if you know of an AMSAT net that isn't listed, please let me know so I can add it.
