The Rockford Monday Night Net has ended as of November 24, 2008.

At the November 25, 2008 Board Meeting, the RARA Officers and Board of Directors discussed the issue at length. They decided that the history of the net in Rockford is something to preserve and should be continued. Therefore, RARA will be starting a RARA Information Net, on our 146.610 repeater at 8:00 pm, beginning Monday December 1, 2008.

The purpose of the net will be to disseminate RARA related information as well as other Amateur Radio related information. As a club sponsored activity, please check in with Net Control and help make this net a success.

The Net Control will be rotated between the club members, with all amateur radio operators encouraged to check in (RARA members as well as non-members).

The net is a new project for the club, your input as to what to include is needed and appreciated. Let any of the officers and board know your thoughts and ideas. If you wish to be a net control operator, let any of the officers know. All are encouraged and welcome to participate.

Please turn in your membership dues.

A member association with common interest of public service to the community through Amateur Radio.
