Weekly Radio Nets

Ro-Ro Ship The table lists details of the times and frequencies of the weekly schedule of ANARS nets. Nets not marked as CW are SSB. Please note that all times are UTC so that local time will vary depending on daylight saving. In addition, if you are unaware of them, you may find the list of H/F beacons useful. They operate continuously and can show where band openings are.
