Tuesday Night APRN net

The American Preppers Radio Net takes to the air tonight at 2359Z (UTC)

Lee K4USS has informed us that the net tonight will be on the 80 meter band at 3.961 for the first part of the net. Lee has been very busy installing new antennas for the 40 meter band and will move the net to the 40 meter band immediately after closing the 80 meter net. The 40 meter move will go to 7.198 as soon as we wrap up the 80 meter net.

A lot of people liked the 40 meter net but it has been very unkind to us recently so with a little luck and some people to make the move just maybe we can get that band to work for us again. Everyone that can do 40 meter please come join the net tonight and help us out with this test run to see if all the antenna work Lee has done pays off.

The topic for tonight will be How to Survive an Economic Meltdown.

joe, if you don't have NetLogger on your computer, you can download it following the link here on the left side. When you get it installed, cllick the Monitor Online Nets button at the top right, and if Net Control (or someone) has started it, you can monitor the net and use the almost instant message feature. We use it to tell people that you are trying to check in, whether or not we have good signals, etc. Also, they'll post any freq changes there so you can follow and keep up with the net.

Sorry I missed the net(s). I had a mini-crisis of my own. Driving home from work Monday evening, my rear brake line ruptured. I thought it was the one to the left wheel cylinder, so I bought a 30" piece of brake line and got home and replaced it. Nope... It was the main steel line running from the ABS module to the rear "T". So yesterday, after working until 6 pm, I head home with 10' of steel line. Of course, that wasn't long enough so I had to go back and get a 20" piece. Got it all hooked up and then had to bleed the brakes. Anyway, it's all finished and working, but I decided I had better attend to that than try to get onto the net.

The American Preppers Radio Net Mission Statement

Our goal is to use this net to teach people to learn to become more self reliant and less dependent on outside help. We also will focus our efforts on Fellowship among any and all Ham Radio Operators new or old, as well as preppers, which would like to join us. We also want to focus on trying to establish a network of Ham’s everywhere, to aid and assist with communications of like minded people, should any or all of the grid supported communications be down.

What we do not want to happen is for this to become a stuffed shirt unfriendly net like so many. Our whole purpose for creating this net is to help people, to Teach people, and to provide communication assistance. We also welcome people to both the world of Ham radio and of how to become more Prepared in the truest sense of the word. Political debate or discussion will not be welcome, religious debate and discussions should be avoided. Radical view points on any topic will not be welcome. There are plenty of places for that besides the Ham Radio in our opinion.

If you do not have a problem with this than we welcome you, and will help you and encourage you to be a part of this net, in any capacity which you want to participate. We are looking for people to take net control responsibilities, help with relay during the net, or anything else you feel you want to help with. We are open to any suggestions you may have, and we also encourage you to help with test that we may conduct on different bands as well.

We are new and we do want for this to become a place of fellowship and goodwill in the Ham and prepper communities. The concept of this net came about as our net was born on Thursday July 16 2009 and our web page was created on Thursday July 23 2009, just so you know how new this all is.

September 01 2009 we have added a forum board to help with support of the net. This is the place where everyone can come and join us rather they are Ham radio operators or not. As stated above we want all like minded people to join us and learn what they can do to have communications ability without grid support.

If you are still interested in helping please let us know and we will forward a copy of the Net's Preamble to you for you to look over. Please use the Email button on the right side of the page to email us.
