Check In On One Of The Club’s Nets
Amateur Radio Technical Net January 8
Subject: SWR
Time: 7:00 PM PT
Where: 146.940 Repeater
SWR is somewhat controversial. There is contradictory/wrong and some times incomplete information floating around about SWR. We are going to dispel the myths and examine what really happens with high SWR. Going to answer why a high SWR can be dangerous for a transceiver. It’s not what you think.
All are welcome to join us in the discussion.
K7UGE Repeater Update
October 20, 2025
The link between 146.940 and 448.500 repeaters has been temporarily disconnected. The two repeaters are operating independently until further notice. Nets will be on 146.940.
