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:
The following is the order of segments of the NSN - Net : Rapport in, Welcoming, Apologies, Announcements, Radio amateurs new to the Net, Weekly topics, "Rondomtalie"/Round robin, Questions and Answers, Swap & Shop listings and Late rapport in's, Date and time of next NSN - Net, Closure.
WEEKLY TOPIC:
Every week we choose a topic question and ask it to each participant.
If you have an amateur radio related topic or survey question that you'd
like the net participants to discuss, we'd love to get your suggestions
and input. Please email your topic suggestions by clicking HERE. If you
prefer that your name/call not be used when we pose your topic to the net,
please state so in your email and we'd be glad to respect your privacy.
