9 A.M. Talk Net
OPERATIONS NOTE:
March-May 2026 - The N6NFI/R power amplifier is being replaced. In the meantime, N6NFI/R is putting out very little power. This has severely impacted our net - net controls and users are experiencing difficulty participating! Andy, KR6DD, has a strong connection to N6NFI/R on his EchoLink Node in Mountain View near Palo Alto. If you have trouble reaching the repeater on 145.23, please go to EchoLink.org and sign-up for a free account, then connect to KR6DD-R.
35+ YEARS AND GOING STRONG!
The 9 A.M. Talk Net started during the 1980's when Arv, WA6UUT, and friends met at 1000 to help new hams. The tradition continues! Learn about our net history, procedures, connecting via EchoLink and our history of net control operators.
WA6UUT (ARV) MEMORIAL LUNCHEON EVERY WEDNESDAY, 11:30-3!
Arv's Wednesday Luncheon meets 11:30-3:00 P.M. at the Black Bear Diner, 415 East El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA. Located near Las Palmas Park and South Fair Oaks Avenue - lots of parking in back. After entering the front door, "bear" left and see old friends and those you haven't met. Arrive anytime between 11:30-3:00 P.M. Presentations and door prizes. Thanks Dave, K6WA!
