[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3793025, member: 24583"] As Jason mentioned most every local club has a weekly net on 2m or 70cm, but your question was concerning HF bands. Depending on the time of day you are looking, there are many nets weekly and many daily. Some like the above OMISS net is good, but a virtually check in only net rather than more of a rag chew net while some like 3.916 at 7-8pm is an old standby for me, various topics running different days. Again depending on what time, it is usually best to just roll the dial and find a conversation that interest you. I suggest if you are new to HF be sure to be able to throw your call out phonetically if someone does not get it the first time. Keep in mind you may miss parts of the conversations. You might be able to hear the guy in Georgia but not who he is talking with in NY. Be ready to do some quick tuning of your noise blankers, gains, and other controls including the volume control along with tuning your antenna to the parts of the bands you are listening to really enjoy HF radio. Welcome to the world of HF. Kenwood 2000 here. [/QUOTE]
