The first NSN - Net will take place today on the 1 May 2022 ten minutes after the Bo Karoo Amateur Radio Klub bulletin.
The weekly topic question will be:
"Do we need all the analog and digital amateur radio repeaters currently installed and operational in South Africa? Looking at the usage and cost to install and maintain these repeaters, should we still build repeaters and repeater networks?"
"Word analoog en digitale amateur radio herhalers wat tans geinstalleer en in gebruik is, steed benodig in Suid Africa? As daar gekyk word na die gebruik en kostes om 'n herhaler te installeer en te onderhou, moet ons voortgaan om herhalers en herhaler netwerke te installeer?"
We hope to welcome more radio amateurs to the NSN Net on a Sunday afternoon and trust that we will not lose any of our regular participants due to the new day and time-slot.
You can access the Net as follow:
1. Echolink - Connect to ZS1I-L, ZS1FC-L, ZS3KBY-R or ZS5PMB-R Please note if the last 3 stations is not connected to ZS1I-L then you need to connect to ZS1I-L for the NSN Net.
