835 on the 805 Net. OMARC Daily Check-in Net. Daily at 8:35am
At 8:35am each morning we gather together on the Overlook Mountain Amateur Radio Club repeater (the ‘805’) to ‘keep together while staying apart’.
Amateur radio is the original social media, with no internet required.
OMARC Daily Check-in Net. Daily at 6:30pm
An informal discussion net. Every day at 1830.
Swap & Shop Net. Mondays, right after the 6:30pm Daily Net.
If you have ham-related items you want, or would like to sell or trade, check-in to this net.
Hudson Valley 80 Meter Net. Wednesdays at 5:00pm
This net is not conducted on an OMARC repeater. We meet on SSB 3.840 +/- 5-10 KHz. While this net includes many OMARC members, it also includes many others from the wider area as well.
Tech Net. Thursdays at 8:00pm
This net is run by Dave K2JLV, OMARC President, and is a technical discussion net for everyone. Sometimes Dave brings topics to the net, sometimes participants bring topics. But it is always an excellent discussion and learning opportunity. If you have something you want to ask about or talk about, this is a great place to ask questions, open a discussion, or just generally have a nice chat with people from all walks of life. We hope you will join us in the fun.
DMR Net. Fridays after the 8:35am net
