What is a ham radio net?
A ham radio “net” is an organized on-air gathering of amateur radio operators who meet on a specific frequency (or repeater) at a scheduled time for a common purpose.
Think of it like a radio-based group meeting.
Common purposes include:
Passing information
Emergency communications practice
Social conversation
Technical discussions
Weather spotting
Training and announcements
Traffic/message handling
Most nets have a Net Control Station (NCS) — one operator who helps direct the conversation and keeps things orderly.
