LVRAC NETs
On 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.
You just never know what might happen on an LVRAC net.
We might be talking about capacitors, and the conversation could inexplicably veer off frequency into a discussion of our favorite cocktails.
Whatever the topic, along with the Check-in Net on Tuesdays, your club has three other nets we’d welcome you to join in on. (And if you’re not an LVRAC member, no problem, guests are always welcome.)
Tuesday Check-In Net
The LVRAC Check-In Net is conducted every Tuesday at 7:00 PM PT on K7UGE – Linked repeaters (prior to October 20, 2025) on VHF 146.940 and UHF 448.500 with standard offsets and both with a PL Tone of 100Hz. Your check-in report is which repeater that you are checking-in on (VHF or UHF).
Thursday Roundtable Net
On Thursday nights at 7:00 PM PT, the K7UGE repeaters light up for the Weekly Roundtable. This is a chance for us to catch up with the activities of our fellow members, hear from guests and tackle a topic. On the Roundtable we’ve shared information on everything from lightning arrestors to amplifiers.
Thursday Roundtable Topic Schedule
- 1st Thursday – TBD
- 2nd Thursday – Amateur Radio Technical Net
- 3rd Thursday – Outdoor Amateur Radio (OAR) Net ***
- 4th Thursday – TBD
- 5th Thursday – TBD
*** The OAR Net focus is on Outdoor Amateur Radio. A growing number of us enjoy portable operating here in Southern Nevada. Getting out of the city into the splendor of Southern Nevada’s scenic spots is always a treat. The noise floor vanishes and terrific operating conditions can open up. On the OAR Net you’ll pick up tips, tricks and best practices for operating portable, from planning and packing to batteries to antennas.
Sunday Thunderbird Net
Our Thunderbird Net takes place Sunday evenings at 7:00 PM PT on 28.420. A few years back, Steve, K7EAU and Fred, K5LX pioneered this net with two things in mind. The first was to give amateurs with Technician licenses an opportunity to join in on the HF fun, where technicians enjoy operating privileges. This net is a great way for technicians to get to know some of the quirks, challenges and excitement of HF operating.
Steve and Fred also created the Thunderbird Net as a way for all of us to optimize our antennas to operate 10M ground wave. We’re often surprised how conditions vary from week to week. The Thunderbird Net is always a surprise… we’ve had amateur operators from across North America and Latin America check in.
ALL LVRAC Nets – Welcome Aboard
If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines listening, why not jump in? And if you haven’t had a chance to check in to one of our nets for a while, come join us. We’d love to welcome you aboard.
You can always check the calendar here on the club’s webpage Calendar & Upcoming Events for dates and times, and you can always find a great group of check-ins on each of our nets.
