Net Scripts
The DFMA Thursday Night Net has been going for a long time.
It
meets Thursday evenings a 8pm. While it started on the 147.225 repeater in
Hillsborough, it moved to the 145.450- PL82.5 in 2016 when that repeater
was moved to TV Hill. More recently, the 147.225 and the 145.450 repeaters
are sometimes linked toget during net time, so it may be possible
to use the 225 again. All are welcome to participate in this rag-chew net.
Net control operators are by Thursday of the
month: 1. W4FK, 2. KR3AM, 3. KU4GC, 4. KR4UB, 5. KM4MBG (if needed) .
Note that you can also participate using the EchoLink feature of the 145.450
repeater.

The Orange County ARES/Auxcomm Training Net is a long running Saturday
morning net that meets each Saturday on OCRA's 442.150+ PL131.8 repeater at
9:30am.
It can be a brief "roll call" type net but often includes ARES training
information provided by Orange County EC.
Net controls are signed up on the air,
typially the last net of the previous month.

Callsign Lookup
QRZ.com is a popular website most often used for call-sign lookup. It
contains vast amounts of additional ham info. Most foreign hams voluntarily
register on this site. Many logging programs use info from this site
for providing logging info (this requires a paid subscription). US hams
are included automatically based on the FCC database.
US hams usually add additional
info about themselves and qsl info for the HF scene.

Area Ham Radio Info
Tadd Torburg, KA2DEW, maintains a nice website with information about Clubs, Repeaters, Nets and more for the greater Raleigh Area. Much of the info is useful in our area as well. Not surprisingly, not everything is up-to-date. Keeping it current is an almost impossible task. However it seems to be a very useful webite.
