Early Reminder: NSN Net #8, Thursday, 31 March 2022 19h30 SAST on the ZS-Link Network.


 

THE WEEKLY NSN NET:

The "Net Sonder Naam" Net meets every Thursday evenings at 7.30PM SAST and typically runs around hour and a half in length depending on how large the net is and how many topics there are for discussion.  This Net is not a Club activity!!  It is constituted by interested radio amateurs in South Africa and even Worldwide. 

ABOUT THE NET: 

The preferred languages will be English and Afrikaans.  You use the language of your preference. The net provides a forum for participants to discuss amateur radio topics, ask amateur radio related questions, and to receive advice, information, and guidance from the pool of knowledge and experience of the net participants. The net is open to all amateurs worldwide and we encourage your participation. We hope you have a little time on Thursday evenings to report in and say hello. 

ORDER OF THE NET: 

This week will be an Open Net.  This means that we will not continue with the normal order of the net.  This week we will bring you a Podcast.  The current Ukraine and Russian War is of great concern to many, including Radio Amateurs and Amateur Radio as a hobby.  Come and listen to this very interesting Podcast.  I am not going to reveal any further information in this regard.   You will have to join the NSN- Net this Thursday, 31 March 2022 at 19h30 to listen to the Podcast.

FEEDBACK NSN NET: 

Every week I will post feedback on what happened on the NSN Net. The posting will be available on the GRHub Network Blog and Amateur Radio 101 Telegram Group. I will only provide a short overview. If you would like to know more then I suggest you join the weekly Net.
