For a number of years I served as a net control station on the Oregon ARES District 1 Net. The Net runs every day from 7:30 to 8:00 PM, Pacific Time.
The Net operates on linked repeaters of the Amateur Radio Relay Group with the following frequencies: 147.320, 442.325, 444.400, and 147.040 MHz with a 100 Hz tone, plus 146.720 MHz (on Wikiup Mountain) and the 444.125 with a 114.8 Hz tone. It also has an alternate repeater on 146.840 MHz with no tone.
Most D1 Net sessions have a few minutes when there is no business to be conducted; they are filled by discussing topics of interest to net participants. Below is a list of topics that I presented during those slack time. The topics I chose often involve information available on the Web, links to which are listed below in reverse date order (most recent first).
I am no longer a control station on the net, but I'm leaving these links here for whatever use visitors might wish to make of them.
