How to Check In

  • Keep transmissions concise; let NCS manage the roster.
  • If you have an announcement, indicate “with traffic” when checking in.
  • New hams and visitors are always welcome!

First-Sunday Simplex Tips

  • Bring your simplex-ready settings (low/med power to start, adjust as needed).
  • Use a good 2m antenna (mobile or base) and note your signal reports to gauge local coverage.
