York Radio Club

you’re invited to check in tonight to YRC’s Monday Night simplex net conducted from the Elmhurst Fire Department Station number 1

First some history - the York Radio Club, before the era of repeaters (early 90’s for YRC) would conduct weekly simplex nets - on Monday nights, in fact.

Over the years our Club has chosen to slim down the weekly simplex gathering in favor of our Wednesday night Net which runs on our Club repeater, the proverbial blowtorch -

However, for several great reasons, the practice of being able to bring up a simplex net has so many benefits if an emergency occurs - Consider the repeater has stopped working -
maybe a cellular problem in the area, something amiss somewhere - well point to point radio
solves those issues and practicing never hurts -

We also run the net from the basement of the Firehouse -
Back in the day, and now, the City knows we have operators around Elmhurst and the western suburbs -
Their having an emergency communications command center right outside our basement cubicle is a powerful connection that, over the years has been utilized.

Again, practicing never hurts when a situation happens.

YRC schedules this net on the first Monday of each month (that’s tonight)

So, maybe you’d like to participate and checkin - by the way, the nets are a bit more informal than Wednesdays, and we try to encourage some chatter - comments from our checkins,
not with a question, but more a what’s up and how’s it going format -

The frequency is 147.42 MHz and the time is 8pm local - 2:00 UTC

Hope to hear you check-in this evening -
