Ham Nets, Volunteering, and More

Abstract

The amateur radio net (used in this context as short for the word “network”) is how groups of hams communicate with one another. Having every ham try and talk at the same time would be madness for large groups, so organizational structures exist that facilitate communications both in times of duress and for general communications. In this chapter, we’ll explore amateur radio nets, and help you make your first ground-based contact.
