350 days of COVID-19 net

On Thursday, 4 March 2021, Hambleton Amateur Radio Society passed the 350th consecutive day of a daily net on 2m.

It started on day one of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown.

Its aim was to keep members and amateurs in the area in touch, and able to summon help or assistance if required.

The net starts at 11am on the calling frequency and usually moves to S18 if clear.

The net is now looking forward to a full year of operating, which occurs on 18 March 2021.

All amateurs are invited to join, and topics are wide and varied.

So far, over 70 different stations have called in.

A Cabin Fever Award is available for any station taking part.

It’s issued by Tim, G0TYM via email, see QRZ.com for details.
