The purpose of the Net is to allow members - local and remote - to contact each other via amateur radio communications from the City of Whyalla and to maintain contact with all possible participants.

Although the Net is based in Whyalla, all amateurs on frequency are welcome and encouraged to check in and participate.

This is a directed Net. Net Control will request initial check in by full call sign stated phonetically. After Net Control acknowledges you, please identify your station by repeating your call sign, stated phonetically, followed by your name and your city of residence / or location. Each call will return the Net to the Net Control.

If you are listening to our Net - but we can't hear you due to the conditions or you are only rx and not tx - we encourage and ask you to email us please.
