The purpose of this blog is to support and promote the 2 meter Tech Net hosted by Broken Arrow Amateur Radio Club's w5bbs repeater on 146.910 on the second Wednesday of the month and Tulsa Amateur Radio Club's w5ias repeater on 145.110, and 443.850 and the linked system, on the last Friday of the month.
The purpose of the Tech Net is to focus discussion of technical issues related to Amateur Radio. A big part of that is to provide a forum in which inexperienced (or less experienced) Amateur Radio operators may ask questions and thereby receive advice.
So if you have a question that you’ve been dying to get an answer to, you can do a “shout out” on Tech Net Night. Or feel free to leave us a question/comment on this blog in any one of the posts.
