Net Information

Tri-County also holds a weekly 2-meter net for general club information. The net is held on the 145.440 repeater system. All amateurs are welcomed to check in. This repeater is located on the highest of the Sunset Ridge peaks, so those with beams should point to just north of Claremont. It is a high level machine with great coverage and should afford us all of the benefits. Deputy Burton Brink with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is the repeater owner and has our thanks. So Please load this frequency and PL into your rigs and join the net. 73, Brad Rachielles, KC6NNV - President for 2008.
