On Air Activities

On-Air nets give ubuntu-hams members the chance to make contact via radio, however, these nets are open and anyone is welcome to join us.

Days(s)	Time (UTC)	Frequency (MHz)	Mode	Notes
Tue	02:00	14.287	USB	Mon Evening in the US
Wed	23:00	14.0690	BPSK31
Fri	03:00	3.5470	BPSK31	Thu evening in the US
Fri	14:30	K9IU-L Node	Echolink	Fri morning in the US

Adjust frequencies +/- as needed if they are in use.

Frequencies for BPSK are the actual center frequency of the net. For example, you might tune your rig to 14.0680 USB and use an audio center frequency of 1 KHz to result in the center frequency of 14.0690 MHz.

At least initially, these nets will be conducted as "assisted" nets, with coordination happening on the #ubuntu-hams irc channel on freenode. Some of our members are restricted to very low power or may not be able to operate on all HF bands, and this will give them a chance to experiment with psk31 modes and make reports even if they can't participate by transmitting.
