| Continuous | Rookie Roundtable Net |
 Snoqualmie Valley ARC |
Thursday evenings at 7:00pm local time.
(There is no net on the first Thursday of each month due the SnoVARC
monthly meeting) 441.825 MHz + PL 103.5 |
The purpose of this net is to give newer hams a
chance to connect with other hams on the air. By sharing experiences and
knowledge we can help each other further our journey into the ham radio
hobby. Even if you have been a ham for a long time, we still
invite you to join in the round-table discussions. Those that are newer
to the hobby can benefit greatly from your shared experiences. Kirt White, K7KDW, kirtwhite@hotmail.com |

Information for Class Sponsors Please keep your listing concise with just the dates, name of the sponsor, location, brief comments and contact information. If possible, provide a link to your club web page with full information about the class. This allows the club to update the listing as necessary. Another option is to provide a link to a class flyer in PDF. |
Disclaimer:
I do my best to keep up with scheduling changes on these events, but there is
always the chance that one will be canceled or re-scheduled and I will not find
out about it. I suggest that you verify all dates and locations with the
sponsor. If you find any inaccuracies, please contact me at
. Thanks!
