CCA Weekly Nets |
|
|
The CCA 20-meter net
meets every Sunday on 14.263 Mhz at 2000 UTC throughout the year and is our formal, directed net. The Sunday CCA net is dedicated to buy, sell, swap, technical questions, "in for the numbers", and rag chew.
The first hour of the net is dedicated to Buy, Sell, Swap, and Wants. Check-ins are taken from any call district. This is followed by general check-ins for technical questions or "in for the
numbers" (just a "howdy hello") based on the call district you live in. We take check-ins starting with the first call district thru the 5th, then the 8th thru the 10th, and finishing with the 6th and
7th call districts. This pretty much follows local time and radio propagation from East to West. If you miss checking -in when your call district is called, don´t worry, you´ll have plenty of time to
check-in during "late check-ins" at the end of the net.
The Sunday net is dedicated to both technical subjects and the listing of equipment buy / sell / swap / want opportunities. At the end of
the net, most Net Control Operators open the net for an informal rag chew...what we call the "After Net".
The CCA also supports three weekly 75-meter nets:
Tuesday nights on 3805 at 8pm Central,
Thursday nights on 3805 at 8pm Central,
Friday nights on 3895 at 8pm Pacific, 10pm Central...(CCA West Coast Net) The 75-meter nets are designed to be very informal with open discussions and the least amount of structure possible. Also, join us on AM:
1st Wednesday AM Net on 3.880 at 8PM
in each time zone moving from east to
west. Meets regularly on the first Wednesday of each month and the
10 Meter CCA AM net Sunday on 29.050 at 12 Noon
central (1800Z).
Come join the fun! |

The CCA needs your HELP!!!
We are looking
for stations to help run our nets as a Net Control Operator. You can pick the net which best fits your schedule and your reward for helping is the thrill of getting to know many of our members on the
air. The work is easy and lots of fun too. For more information, please contact any of our Net Managers or give your name and
telephone number to any Net Control Stations on any CCA net. |

"Technical Discussion Weeks" 2007 |
|
"Theme Weeks" is now "Technical Discussion Weeks". The new "Technical Discussion Weeks" is not for
check-ins with specific equipment and serial number recording. It is for a technical discussion of various Collins Radio equipment and its repair and restoration. We encourage everyone to
check-in and talk about problems they have had with their Collins equipment and what was done to correct those problems. Bring your technical questions, Collins Radio technical experts will be on hand
to answer your questions. Come join the fun
Note:
The net weeks start with the Sunday Afternoon 20 meter net and continue through the week to the Friday West Coast Net on the 75 meter nets. Thanks to all the hard working NCOs who make the nets possible.
