Monthly Division Net
Communications remains a challenge in a Division that spans nearly from the northern border of Mexico to southern border of Canada. Passing information by email and this Division website is the easiest way to communicate to so many people in a quick fashion. But why not involve good ol' ham radio?
The ARRL Rocky Mountain Division Net occurs monthly to disseminate information and give us a chance to meet you and your ideas via QSO. All Division members and interested hams are invited to participate. Here are the details:
- Frequency: Your local VHF/UHF IRLP repeater!
- The node number you should link to from your local IRLP-capable repeater: 9871
- Date: Second Wednesday of each month
- Time: 7:30 PM MDT
Check out http://www.irlp.net (Node Info section) to find an
IRLP-capable repeater in your area. Generally all you need to do to
link into the reflector is enter "9871" with your DTMF keypad and wait
for the voice prompt indicating that the link is open. To unlink,
enter "73". However, to be safe, check with your local IRLP repeater's
trustee to confirm beforehand since some repeaters have custom codes. Their contact information is found when
searching for IRLP repeaters in your area. If you've never used IRLP
before (you'll be fascinated by it) please experiment with
linking/unlinking before the net.
